   I was born 27th July 1987 in Gorodok  town of Lviv Region. I started to play chess in kindergarten at the age of 5, where my first coach was Mykola Matvienko. In school chess was taught in different times by R. Gubka, A. Semeniuk, R. Khaetsky, I. Nester and V. Grabinsky, with whom I have been working for 15 years already.

  In 2004 I entered Lviv institute of physical Culture and at the same time started my own trainer career. My first student was Volodymyr Vetoshko, who in the nest year became Champion of Ukraine under 8. After Volodia has won Ukrainian Championships 4 more times and in 2008 he took second place on Europe Championship.

   At the moment I am teaching chess in Youth sports school and participate in tournaments myself when have chance.
