Upon my arrival in the United States in 1981, I delved into the nuances of the American system of government and civics under the guidance of exceptional educators. The stark disparities between the socialist, leftist structure of the USSR and the United States' free-market model, anchored in religious freedoms and constitutional principles, intrigued me deeply. Here, the promise of success transcended barriers of race, religion, gender, or origin, igniting my curiosity about the foundations of this nation's societal fabric.
After completing my high school education, I enlisted in the US Army as a gesture of gratitude towards the country that had welcomed my family and provided us with constitutional rights and liberties, enabling us to thrive both professionally and financially. Subsequently, I pursued higher education in healthcare while immersing myself in the study of our system of government and constitutional rights. Drawing inspiration from renowned thinkers such as Alexis De Tocqueville, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson, I deepened my understanding of civic principles.
As I progressed in my professional and economic endeavors, I found guidance in the works of Milton Friedman and Thomas Sowell, whose insights on the economy became instrumental in shaping my perspectives. Combined with my passion for history, these influences fueled my engagement in politics and helped formulate my informed opinions.
Since then, I've contributed to my community as a first responder, working as a paramedic. Additionally, I've served as a clinical educator for healthcare professionals, sharing my expertise. Alongside these roles, I've pursued engineering as a self-taught endeavor, resulting in successful inventions. Transitioning to entrepreneurship, I've established myself as a businessman. Moreover, I've extended my reach as a social media educator, imparting knowledge to tens of thousands of students.
