Abu Usamah was born in New Jersey in 1964. He embraced Islam in 1986 and went on to studying in the Islamic University of Madinah for eight years where he graduated from the College of Da'wah and Usool-ad-Din.

Abu Usamah has been very active in da'wah since the day he embraced Islam. He has been the Imam of various mosques in the United States and in the United Kingdom. He is currently the imam at Green Lane masjid in Birmingham.

His zeal and eagerness in conveying the true message of Islam has lead him to many parts of the world, delivering lectures and seminars, as well as translating for many scholars and du'aat from the Arab world.

Abu Usamah has been blessed in studying with some of the greatest scholars of our time, to name a few, 'Umar Fulatah at the Rawdah of the Prophet's Mosque, Muhammad 'Atiyyah Salim (author of Tafsir 'Adwaa ul-Bayaan'), Abdullah Muhammad al-Ghunayman, Muhammad al-Jami, Salih al-Fawzan and many more. He was also very fortunate to have spent two summers in intensive study under Ibn Baaz and Ibn 'Uthaymin.
