I had a happy and active childhood in the Soviet Union, growing up in a loving family of my father \u2013 a newspaper editor and my mom an engineer turned stay at home mom.

Since that first job I\u2019ve worked as an electrician, baker, pizza delivery guy, warehouse worker, electronics technician, sales person, and a mid-level manager.

Currently\u00a0\u00a0I now hold a teaching job at Elizabethtown College<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
