About

I was born in Odessa, a port city, in a seamen's family. I've started my career from the cargo-ship, which made me stronger in all aspects and made me like yachting industry in the future even more. As a worker, I try to develop constantly because I am convinced that professional growth is a must. I regularly step outside my comfort zone to gain experience and have invested my earnings in education to gain qualification in a broad spectrum of the maritime industry. I'm quite an active person, and my hobbies correspond to my lifestyle. I know how to get along with children as I have a little daughter. We spend a great time together when I'm on vacation.
