Open-minded family man, who adores his lovely wife and his 3 sons. What a party! :)

Currently my main passion and source of income is e-commerce. I do some retailing (e-tailing) myself, as well as, provide consulting services for individuals and companies who are embarking on their road to e-commerce success.

After finishing the High school, earlier in my life, I went to study Law in the University of Latvia. Afterwards, I spent about 5 years working in legal field in Latvia. At some point I started to realize that Law is not exactly where I saw myself for the rest of my life. The job had begun to take its toll on me. More and more I started to find myself in pubs and other similar venues... The life started to spiral down quickly. At that time, I didn't really see anything else I could be doing, shall I decide to quit Law. The Law thing clearly was not working for me. Yet, I had no idea what else could be there for me. I was kind of caught up in some personal struggle with my inner self, which later transcended into other areas of my life, also. To solve this, one day I simply decided to quit everything and move to United Kingdom. I needed some radical change, to get me up and running again. I had no idea what I might be doing there... I had never been to UK before, etc. However, it didn't bother me in a slightest way back then. And... I moved. What a great decision that was!

After 7 years, of living and working in UK, I had met my now wife, and moved back to Latvia, where I currently live. It is during those 7 years in UK I had a chance to dive in to the world of e-commerce and learn a lot of other new things in my life, as well as, meet a good amount of new friends, see more different cultures and habits. All of this experience is contributing in abundance in my current work and private life. Thanks to the internet, it is a lot easier now to stay connected with people you meet not only in your country but also abroad.
