My husband and I currently live in Downtown Ft Worth with our two little pups! I’m originally from Las Vegas, but have lived in Texas for long enough that I consider myself a Texan. I love to explore new food scenes in Fort Worth, swim, and spend time with friends/loved ones. I’m always down for a good game night, especially if there’s food involved!

I am originally from Chernivtsi, Ukraine, but my family moved to Texas as soon as we could in the year 2000. I love to play basketball, run, eat, and as of March 2020, I have found a new love for growing and tending to my five lemon trees which I started from seed. At church, you might find me Ro-man the halls, behind a camera, or in the media control room. Let me introduce you to the media team and if you want, even teach you how to operate a camera. It's a lot of fun, I promise.

I’ve been attending and serving YG in some capacity since I began college at UTA in 2014. I’m currently a graduate student hoping to get my degree to become a speech pathologist. I’m constantly blown away by the love and grace of God and will not stop talking about it if I get started. I’m a self proclaimed language nerd and amatuer foodie. I also love reading, hiking and plants. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat!

I’ve been in Texas long enough to consider it home, but not long enough to have any confidence in the Dallas Cowboys. My wife Dee is an NICU nurse working in Fort Worth, and my daughter Alexa is a cardiac critical care nurse working in Southern California. Admittedly, I’m a bit geeked out about all things Apple, and consider any Apple Store my personal satellite office.
