Born and raised in Washington State, university studies in Utah State. I've lived for a several years in 6 cities in Russia. Studied Mathematics and Russian in Bachelor's, now Petroleum Engineering in Master's in Moscow, but I equally like classical literature, history and art.

Two years ago, I married a wonderful girl from Saratov. We study engineering in grad school together and love our life in Moscow.

Past sports include football (soccer), running, and even baseball and American football.

I also love hiking and camping, reading, skiing, studying languages.
