I’m a senior, and I play prep hockey. I’m from Yekaturinburg, Russia, but I grew up in a small village in the North of Russia. I live with my mom, dad, and two younger sisters at home. Before coming to Northwood, I played hockey for a U16 AAA team in Pennsylvania. I wanted to find a new school for a better education and a better hockey experience, and I found Northwood by looking at the national hockey high school rankings, so I applied and got in. The website gave me a lot of cool information about the school, and I was very interested.
Two things I’m passionate about besides hockey are guitar and DJing, and I want my future DJ name to be Kitty. I’m very obsessed with music. I’ve been playing guitar since I was 7 years old, and I’ve just started to learn how to DJ.
Something I want people to know about me is that I may seem like a tough guy who doesn’t talk, or I can be perceived as mean, but that’s not how I am at all. I’m a very friendly guy and I like talking and getting to know people, and if you need help, I’m always willing.
