He started working at age 12 by being a simple worker in a shoemaking in Karaj. About Two years later he continued to work in Tehran in the shoemaking market. With the pervasiveness of industrial production of shoes by national shoes and the undermining of traditional footwear, they were forced to leave this profession. and later he began to work with his eldest brother (Safar Shahi), who was involved in steel structure manufacturing.

Familiarizing himself with metal and metal working with his brother, he was interested in this profession, and as a result, he preferred to be employed as a simple worker in Chakosh Company to complete and pass the welding course.

He was recruited as a welder’s supervisors at HamAzvar Company where he suffered and loses number of his fingers in an accident. So, after 4 years when deadly earthquake happned in Gonabad, he resigned from the company and traveled there in order to helped people he stayed there about one year to build prefabricated houses in Gonabad.

Meanwhile, one of his friends, who was manufacturing the metal skeleton, faced a problem, he was not able to install a skeleton, he was aware of his dynamic and initiator personality, so he asked him to collaborate on installing that skeleton. Upon completion of the installation of this project, many employers, including Haj Agha Hagharard, who had numerous industrial projects, referred to him with austere and unusual installation projects.

However, these projects produced by others were, in his opinion, not ideal and not subject to qualitative criteria. Thus, in 1974, he began to independently employ a number of workers and engineers. At first, Ghaleh Hassan Khan Factory and then Shahin Soleh Company were established and began to manufacture and execute various metal projects in all parts of Iran.

At this time (1997), Mr. Vayesh one of his engineers introduced him to MR. Rahim Akbari, who was working in the same field, they established joint company together that named Baadbnd co. in order to emergence of joint areas of implementation and innovation.
