The full story
Who I am
I make good things happen around me.
I connect people and turn half-formed ideas into ventures: on stage as an emcee, at the table as the host, and behind the keyboard as the engineer who keeps the lights on. The same person, on purpose.
My IT career bought the freedom to chase all of it. Then I left it behind to start over in Russia, partly to find what is hidden here and partly to test what I am made of. If ruling a nation is too ambitious, I will settle for connecting them.
The Russia project
Not just stuck in Moscow.
An American documenting the real Russia: life, business and the unspoken dynamics of both countries. Mostly from outside the big cities.
