ABOUT ME

Love to travel, meet new people and share adventures. I love my wife Marina, whom I met in Russia and family.

I still enjoy fishing, boating, jet skiing and many outdoor activities. The high light of my year is going to Belize.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What has impressed and awed me more than anything in my travels is the beauty and tranquility of Caddo Lake here in Texas. It is mystical, magical, primeval and even prehistoric looking in areas. It is the largest stand of Bald Cypress in the world and one of the largest water forest in the world. The cypress trees are draped with Spanish moss and is inspiring during any season.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share information about my plants and zoo animals that I raise here at the gator park. There are 10 gators in my back yard and many other animals in our mini zoo.
