Talib brings this unique mix of experience to bear in his current position as Managing Principal for his law firm, the TEC Law Group, PLLC. In this role, Talib manages a group of 15 lawyers and other professionals in providing legal services to media companies; schools; land developers; and individuals in a variety of matters from job discrimination and religious bias, to child custody disputes and inheritance issues. Talib has also become one of America's most well-known Muslim lawyers, as one of the founders of MLDEF---the Muslim Legal Defense & Education Fund, a group with the mission of defending the rights of Muslims in the United States and abroad.

The U.S. Air Force Academy and its Department of Astronautical Engineering served as the launching pad for Talib's college-level academic training. Talib's upbringing as the son of two political activists led him to depart the Air Force Academy for Howard University, the training ground for many famous civil rights leaders. At Howard, Talib earned degrees in both Engineering and Law, while finding time to develop his talents as an advocate, community organizer, and leader.

Starting as student, Talib has received a rich training as a community organizer and political activist. Talib led a National Student campaign seeking peace in the Middle East as well as worked to mobilize youth on issues from conflicts in Africa to police brutality in the U.S. Talib's political career goes back to his days as a 10-year old volunteer for his father's first political campaign in the Detroit area. From then until now, Talib has worked in all areas of electoral politics, including voter registration, fundraising, media relations, and election law compliance. Talib has worked on political races in Michigan, Tennessee, Georgia, California, and New York, including the elections of former Maryland Governor Parris Glendening, former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, former Congressman Mervyn Dymally, former Vice President Al Gore, and President Bill Clinton.

Talib's work experience has been equally as enriching. In his 25 years of employment, Talib has worked in government, in the private sector, and in the non-profit field. Talib has worked in each of the three branches of the U.S. Federal government---the Congress (with the U.S. House of Representatives and Congressionally controlled Federal Communications Commission), the Executive Branch (with the U.S. Census Bureau), and the Judicial Branch (with the Federally controlled District of Columbia Superior Court). Talib has also gained significant experience in the private sector while working for Fortune 500 companies like Ford Motor Company, as an Engineer, as well as for numerous small firms, mostly in the media, legal, and fashion areas. Finally, Talib has worked for renowned institutions Howard University and Wayne State University.

While managing his professional duties, Talib has dedicated himself to a full-time Arabic language program at the Institute for Islamic and Arabic Studies in America in preparation for his plans to study Islamic Law. Talib and his wife, Delicia, a Mechanical Engineer, are also active supporters of Howard University, where they first met.
