I was born in Russia and I moved to NYC when I was three years old. I grew up in NYC and moved to Chicago in 2004.
I worked at CBGB (the famous underground rock club) all throughout college.
I once appeared on the Oprah show with Caesar Milan because my dog was ruining my sex life.
I had a short stint driving famous rappers such as Ludacris, R. Kelly, DMX, Ja Rule and Redman in NYC. I feel like I have lived many different lives.


I love keeping up with new tactics, strategies and developing as a marketer. Things never get stale because they’re always changing.

I have a wife and two kids that I love to spend time with when I’m not at work. To stay active, I like to play basketball and workout every now and then. With any spare time I have left, I like to play guitar, listen to music, cook, and travel the world. Believe it or not, I also like to read about digital marketing when I’m not at work… I know, bad habit.
