I’m an American living in Moscow.

Working inside a reality most people only see through headlines.

I deal with the logistics, the culture, and the day-to-day realities of being here—not as an observer, but as someone fully operating within it.

• Working across cultures—not observing from the outside

• Trusted by individuals who need clarity before arriving

• Operating within the environment, not around it

Most people researching Russia are piecing together fragments—news coverage, forums, secondhand experiences.

That creates confusion. And in some cases, costly mistakes.
