(he/him) I'm from New York, and spent a lot of 2022 living in San Francisco. Happy to be back home now, and excited to show people around the city that I love!

I'm an urban planner and I also do some translation work with the Russian-speaking queer community in NYC. I also do a lot of musical side projects: I sing in a choir, accompany my friends on piano at comedy shows, and sometimes record tracks for them too!

I’m also a big cyclist and spend a lot of time riding my bike around New York City. I also canoe and kayak around the city a lot too (ask me about it!)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I got to work at the World’s Fair in Astana, Kazakhstan for four months in 2017, and I met new friends from all over the world there. I also got to see Akon live, hike all over the country, and almost got arrested with some friends in the Tian Shan Mountains (close to Almaty) for getting too close to a reservoir!
