NO EXCUSES • ALL WORK • ALL FAITH

 

Although, I would love to tell my whole story and to share every single moment that led me to become the man I am today, it would take a whole book just to get through my high school years. So, in turn I would like to give you a brief summary about who, what, and how I have become the inspiring, God-fearing man I am today. My story began in Ivannavo Russia on May 29th, 1996. There I was born to a young Russian couple. As far as the doctors and my birth parents new I was supposed to come out a strong, healthy baby boy. However, due to the time period and lack of technology they could never guess what would have happened next. To all of their surprise, this supposedly strong, healthy boy came out missing a few major necessities to the human body. He was born without a partial left arm and was missing both of his feet. Due to this un-foreseen birth defect, and lack of finances the young couple was unable to care properly for this child.

​

Following the decision to give the child up, he ended up getting shipped to the local orphanage and would remain the for a year. At this point in his life, he had no one, and not a single soul to call his family. Although he did have the care takers at the local orphanage, they were just temporary people who would come and go with no true long-term desire to take care of the young boy. However, God was at work. I don’t want to go to in depth into the adoption story, as I was able to tell all that I know about what happened earlier. With that being said, I will tell you that the process of me being born, adopted, and brought to the United States is nothing short of a God given miracle.
