Overview
About Me
Hey I'm Alex,
I'm originally from a city close to Vancouver, Canada. I currently work for a large American insurance company.
Both my parents are immigrants from Moscow who sought the better life.
Growing up in a very multicultural city I love different cultures, backgrounds, religions and opinions. I know how important it is not to hold bias towards cultures that you know little about, but the only way to really break the stereotypes is to meet people and experience different worlds.
-I scuba dive
-I love international politics
-I took a salsa dancing class for a year
-I used to competitively shoot when I was in Air Cadets
-I love to ski!
-I considered a career in Information Technology, as a Robot Scientist, and as a Jet Pilot
-I love drinking, socializing, and partying
-I love outdoor sports: rock climbing, kayaking, mountaineering, etc..
