Ideas in the Brain (Cross-section)

I have lived and worked abroad for the last 10 years, mostly in Russia, but also some in Morocco. I just moved back to the states to live with my two teenage boys.

During the last years in Moscow, I began painting and now paint full time. I’m a stay-at-home dad, and work out of my home studio. I try to do yoga and meditate regularly. The kids and I spend our vacations either kiteboarding or skiing.

I was born in Columbia, MO in 1970. I have a BA in Russian Literature from Amherst College and an MBA from the University of Chicago. I’ve worked for the last 20 years as a mortgage bond trader (Bank of America) and management consultant (BCG, McKinsey.) My last job was Partner and Head of Strategy Consulting in Russia at KPMG.
