DNJournal has a wonderful write up on Sahar Sarid for the month of May. There are a ton of great photos of Sahar in zero gravity and stories about his life and how he got into domain names. While growing up he always found the easiest route to the finish line and thought outside of the box. Around fifth grade he figured out that if he used the teacher’s edition of the text books it gave him an advantage. Why use the student version when the teacher’s edition has recommended test questions and therefore easier to study for a future test. In seventh grade, Sahar was told his final grade in carpentry class would be largely dependent on a year end project. He had little interest in wood or carpentry, so he drew up plans for a desk and took his plans to a professional carpenter. When he turned his professionally made desk in, The teacher knew he didn’t construct it and flunked him. “Thinking of it today, that failing grade in school was really a winning grade in life. The ability to find and contract work to others will get you much more then if you were to do everything on your own” said Sahar.

I am glad DN Journal is featuring professional domainers, We need more positive PR around domains. Sahar got his start by using his sister’s credit card. His sister had a $20,000 limit and he used every penny to buy domains. Once the credit card was maxed out he asked in a chat room if anyone wanted to invest in him and partner with him. Jeff Bhavnanie responded and the two have been partners ever since in their company “Recall Media Group”.
