1. What’s your Ethnicity?
Caucasian and Russian.
2. What’s your zodiac sign?
I am a stubborn Aries.
3. Where are you from originally?
I was born in Voronezh Russia and grew up in Feodosiya, Crimea. When I was 16 I moved to the US and attended the University of Arizona.
4. What did you like most about growing up in Moreno Valley, CA?
I loved being able to spend summers on the beach with my friends and go gardening with my grandma to pick up fresh fruits and vegetables. Feodosiya is located on the Black Sea and is a major tourist destination, known for beautiful beaches and people. I was surrounded by my family, including my aunt and uncle. I do not regret moving to the USA, but I do miss my family that still lives back in Russia.
5. What kind of mischief did you get into growing up?
My grandfather would catch fish for dinner and when he wasn’t looking, I would throw them back in the ocean because I felt bad for them…I got in big trouble for that. I also used to play tricks on my grandma while she was cooking dinner by hiding potatoes, carrots and other stuff…yes, hiding potatoes in early 90’s Russia was a big deal. As you can see I was a real wild child. [laugh]
6. What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done?
Buying Facebook stock at IPO when everyone else was laughing that it was overvalued…who’s laughing now.
7. What’s your favorite hobby and why?
Playing with my tiny doggy Katya and learning about the universe and quantum mechanics. I got hooked on this topic when I learned that electrons can teleport, so maybe humans can eventually teleport too.
8. What’s your guilty pleasure?
Vanilla latte with extra sugar and trash TV.
9. Who do you admire?
My grandmother; she made me who I am today, Chopin; he changed music forever and D.W. Griffith; for inventing fake eye lashes.
10. If you could change one thing in the world what would it be and why?
I would have my grandmother living here with me in America, she raised me and made me who I am today. And if I could change a second thing, I would eliminate carbon dioxide emissions so our planet doesn’t turn into a desert wasteland one-hundred years from now.
11. What’s one of your personal goals?
I would like to become a chessmaster and invent teleportation, but if I can’t make that happen, I’d like to at least open an animal shelter and take care of strays.

Most frequently guys compliment me on my profound conversational skills, sophisticated vocabulary and my endless curiosity of understanding the inner workings of the universe, but occasionally they compliment me on my boobs.

My hypnotic smile, it allows me to walk up to anyone and start a conversation.

The way he is dressed and his smile, I admire a man in a suit and white smile.
16. What’s your ideal first date?
Let’s go to the zoo, it’s a friendly environment where we don’t have to chew in front of each other and worry about eating too much or not enough. Plus, if you are not an animal lover we are wasting our time.
