Mardig was an educator all his life and taught in Ethiopia, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and California. Mardig died in Anjar in 2006. Both Mardig and Diana have been teachers at the school in Anjar.  Diana has also been a steadfast supporter of children’s education, starting with her own children.

Diana and Mardig left Saudi Arabia in 1986 to offer the American Dream to their children, which included an opportunity for higher education. Varant earned his BA from San Luis Opispo and his MBA from UC Irvine. Talar earned her BA from UC Irvine and her law degree from UC Hastings.

The Diana and Mardig Herculian Center was opened in memory of my parents.
