Born in a small city in Siberia. Spent my first 18 years there, then landed a summer internship in Rehoboth Beach — 16-hour days for 4 months as a barista, shop assistant, restaurant admin.

Took that money back to Russia and started a clothing store selling Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister. Quickly learned that I’d made more money as a barista than as a business owner — with less risk and fewer headaches.

Made it my goal to get back to the US.

Got accepted to Northeastern University for my masters.

Nine months later, I was running a crypto business.

Now building DoorDex and a couple things I can’t talk about yet.

I’m skipping a lot — maybe I’ll write about it sometime.

Into modern art, film, hip-hop, deep house, and buying things I probably shouldn’t.
