Ara John Movsesian was born on June 16, 1949 in Troy, NY. At the age of five, he and his parents moved to California and settled in Fresno where he spent his childhood and adolescence. While still in his teens, he began to write song lyrics for personal enjoyment, and a love of poetry grew out of this passtime.
Ara attended the University of California at Berkeley from where he graduated with a Masters Degree in Architecture. Today, he is a licensed Architect and a published poet whose works have won several awards.
To him, his vocation and avocation are interrelated endeavors. "One cannot separate Writing - a romantic and creative process from Architecture - a visionary profession. They both require inspiration, technical ability, and discipline."
