HomeIranProminent Iranians

Mori
Hosseini, Chairman and CEO of ICI Homes, founded
his Daytona Beach based company in 1980. Under
his leadership, the company flourished and became
the largest residential homebuilder in Volusia
County. True to his entrepreneurial spirit, Mr.
Hosseini expanded to other markets in Florida
including Flagler, Brevard, Osceola, Orange, St.
John's, Nassau and Duval counties, and more recently
has established a market presence in Georgia,
Tennessee and North Carolina. This characteristically
bold vision has consistently garnered ICI Homes
a cadre of prestigious awards and far-reaching
notoriety, not the least of which is its consistent
ranking among the Top 100 Builders in the nation
by Builder magazine. Besides land development
and homebuilding, Mr. Hosseini is involved in
other enterprises throughout Florida, including
a lumber company, a title insurance company, a
cable company, a utility company, and is ultimately
responsible for the employment of thousands of
people.
Behind his driving professional success, Mr.
Hosseini is anchored by a strong sense of dedication
and commitment to his community and the industry
that he insists has been so good to him. Over
the years, he has been passionately involved in
"giving back" to many organizations
in a variety of ways including:


Board of Directors of the National Association
of Home Builders

Board of Trustees at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical
University

Chairman of the Board of Pinnacle Bank

Commissioner for the Volusia County Planning
and Development Regulation Commission

Board of Directors of Halifax Fish Community
Health

Board Member of Volusia County Association
for Responsible Development

Board Member for Volusia County Code Enforcement
Board

Board Member for the Daytona/Halifax Area
Chamber of Commerce

Board Member for the YMCA

His numerous civic and charitable activities
have brought Mr. Hosseini immense personal satisfaction
and a number of distinguished accolades and awards
including:

2001 Community Leadership Award from the City
of Daytona Beach'

The 2001 Leadership Award from the Salvation
Army for his fund-raising efforts for the new
Salvation Army Center in Daytona Beach.

Recognition Awards in 1998, 1999, and 2000
from Habitat for Humanity for helping to build
home for the underprivileged by arranging donations
of construction materials, labor & land.

1998 Builder of the Year Award from the Volusia
Home Builders Association.

1997 Enterprise Award from the Daytona Beach/Halifax
Area Chamber of Commerce.

1994 Florida Entrepreneur of the Year Award
in the construction and real estate category
sponsored by Ernst & Young, Inc. magazine
and Merrill Lynch.

Born in Iran, Mr. Hosseini was primarily educated
in London, where he received a B.S. in aeronautical
engineering from the Chelsea College of Aeronautical
Engineering. He and his family came to America
in 1977 and settled in Daytona Beach, where Mr.
Hosseini attended Embry-Riddle University and
earned a B.S in aeronautical studies and an MBA.
A dedicated family man, Mr. Hosseini and his wife
of 25 years, Forough, have three daughters. Their
twins, aged nine, and their 20-year-old sophmore
college student at the University of Michigan
keep them both actively involved with their many
school activities. Even with his busy schedule,
Mr. Hosseini does carve out time out to pursue
his personal hobbies, which include a good, competitive
round of golf, every chance he gets. He is also
an enthusiastic fan and an avid supporter of Embry-Riddle's
many athletic programs and still enjoys flying
a small airplane every now and again.
Although very proud of ICI Homes' extraordinary
23-year track record that boasts thousands of
quality built homes and satisfied customers, Mr.
Hosseini continues to look ahead. When asked about
the future, he is quick to point out that ICI
Homes is always looking five years down the road
exploring new markets and finding ways to enhance
the customers' home building experience. He believes
in hard work, strong ethics and following a clear
vision, and has surrounded himself with people
that feel the same way. Having great confidence
in the team he has assembled, Mr. Hosseini explained,
" Staying on top is a total team effort;
trusting your key people to make decisions is
essential to the company's ultimate success."
His philosophy has served him well and continues
to show the way, as ICI Homes is on track to have
its best year ever.
