Biography
Saleh was born on September 24, 1964, in Kuwait to Fathiya and Jamal Saleh. The Egyptian derivation of his surname comes from his paternal ancestor, who emigrated from Alexandria, Egypt to Yaffa, Palestine in the 1930s. The family eventually settled in Kuwait after being evacuated in 1948 from their town Salameh during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. In 1966 Saleh emigrated with a number of family members to Canada, where the family eventually settled in Belleville, Ontario where Saleh completed his middle and high school education.

The couple resides in Michigan and has three children.[1]
