CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I just completed a 15,000 mile motorcycle trip; traveling from Virginia to California and through all of Central America to Panama.

I was born in Belarus and raised in the United States by immigrant parents. I do not subscribe to the American Dream. I am a citizen of the world and a loyal member to my local community.

I love the outdoors and getting my hands dirty. Summer is all about hiking, camping, climbing, biking, and gardening. Winter is all about books and ice skating on frozen lakes.
