…My goal is to become as fluent with as many of its various styles and ideals as one might be with the countless cultures, histories, and ways of life that have walked this earth.” Born in Murmansk, Russia on March 21st, 1992 and adopted by the best person I have ever known (my mother), “I feel that my life, thus far, can be best compared to that of a hurricane. Turbulent, wild, yet with a sense of harmony to it. For it is only after such storms, can we truly appreciate that which is most important.”
