I am originally from Kharkov, Ukraine.  Kharkov is the second largest city in the Ukraine after Kiev.  I had lived there until I was 18 when I left my birth place for good to come to live in Boston, USA, with all my family.  In 1995 I became a US Citizen.

In 1998  we welcomed into the world our first daughter, Nellie.  In 2006, we welcomed our identical twin girls, Gabriella and Amelia.  They are my life's biggest joy.

Upon finally getting my Ph.D., I moved to the wonderful city of New York, NY in September 2001.  I did not know what I was missing until I moved here.  Come visit New York and discover for yourself.
