CURRENT MISSION

To raise two wonderful kids and enjoy life while doing so!

ABOUT ME

Intellectual, talkative, very open to people, sincere.

PHILOSOPHY

It is not enough to have brilliant ideas and strong moral principles -- we all should be ready to stand up for them and pay a high price, if need be. Only then will the world be a better place. Otherwise, we are just giving all the injustice in the world a silent blessing.

Watching my kids growing up! Experience the collapse of the Iron Curtain! Also, standing on top of the world in Machu Picchu, swimming with mantas in Mexico, being on DMZ in Vietnam, every day passing by a 1000 y.o. cathedral next to my house, and just inhaling spring, summer,autumn and winter every year again and again...
