About Me

I was born in Russia and moved to Chicago at the age of 6. My early influences were my parents and all the Russian community old fashioned European habits mixed with the Chicago sarcasm and attitude.
Currently, I live in Scottsdale for most of the year, but spend the summers back home in Chicago, and travel between the two cities frequently all year.

I believe that the secret to fulfillment is is in creating new moments, to always evolve, to continue to learn, to create adventure, to love, and to avoid mundane daily habits. I spend my free time going to plays, shows, movies, comedy, art exhibits, festivals, and jump at any chance to catch a band live.

My current obsessions are playing guitar in my newly formed band (Road Kill). Drinking wine. Traveling (most recently to Russia in July '05. This summer, I am planning a trip to the Ukraine/Czech Republic and then Argentina in the fall, Chicago (I go back home for 2 months. Cubs games. The lakefront. Good old friends. Bar crawls. Cab rides. Hot and humid El stations. Traffic. My family. I miss it all)

Otherwise, I try to stay pretty healthy. Working out is a daily activity, whether it is hitting the gym, hiking, biking, playing a sport, or running wind sprints. I also try to stay on the organic side of the food I put in my body, but can't resist a good pizza.
I don't care much for people who have hidden agendas and so I surround myself with friends who are genuine and that don't step on others to get ahead. My philosophy is that you must celebrate every moment as it comes, and learn a lesson from any letdowns and painful times.
I will leave this with a quote from my favorite band, the Beatles.
"And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make ."
