CURRENT MISSION

thinking the unthinkable

ABOUT ME

Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth...

I was born in the USSR, moved to the United States as a teenager with my parents. Spent a decade amidst the craziness that is New York City. Last year escaped for some much needed travel time. I enjoy alternating periods of solitude in remote locations and partying in big cities with good friends. I have a very calm character, some say that it is too calm.

PHILOSOPHY

You don't know whether tomorrow will be the next day or the next life. What you do now matters most.
