Married, my wife is Czech. We married in 1987 in an Orthodox Church in Romania and several years later she officially converted to Orthodoxy. No children for natural reasons, but a nice pet, Havanese bichon. I am hadji, I've been in pilgrimage in the Holy Land. We were received by the late Patriarch of Jerusalem, Diodoros.
I am running my own company, selling aircraft parts and started to build small airplanes in Romania with an American, who got serious health problems after all was set up and ready to start. We cope now a lot with the situation, but there are some serious hopes and with God's help we hope to live soon better times.
