I constantly develop my knowledge and skills, and help all interested in developing their knowledge and skills in the field of sports. I also seek to reject all that is traditional in work and search always for new and innovative ideas in developing performance. I am a persevering and ambitious, and I am ambitious to leave a distinctive mark in this life. This brings me happiness and satisfaction.

I love fun and I want anyone who works with me to feel comfortable and happy, but at the same time I do not accept the delay in work, I am serious in my work and I always strive for achievement. My approach to work is to be careful, accurate and work on the details, and I believe that the time spent for good organization is essential and saves a lot of effort, time and money.

My hobbies are many: reading, practicing and playing various musical instruments. My practice of hobbies gives me happiness and joy and helps me to relax when I am under pressure. I’m a social person who likes to be with people and to know new people, and I like to work in the crowd, although my external features do not suggest that (as some people tell me after they know me well).
