Sassan Saffari is half Persian and half English, Scottish, Irish, French, Norwegian, Finnish, Swedish, & Danish. A lot of halves.

He was born and raised in Boston, MA. His Grandmother, Edith Conklin Weaver; a painter, poet, and lover of art, had a profound impact on his life, work, and growth as an artist. His college years were spent honing his craft in San Diego at his alma mater, MiraCosta College Theatre.
