I am a proud Vilnius native who has lived around the world and chose Vilnius as the city in which to raise our family. I have worked in finance for more than 20 years in the Baltic States. I manage the leading financial advisory firm in the Baltic States, Porta Finance. My education is in economics and business - I have a Master’s degree in Business Administration. Since the mid-1990s, when as a junior in high school, I went on an exchange year to the US, I have been promoting the Baltic States to the world. I continue to do so in my daily work, bringing the Baltics to the world and the world to the Baltics.
My children attend AISV, I feel a long-term personal connection with the school and I aim to contribute to furthering its cause of promoting the life of the international community in Vilnius.
I was born and raised in Vilnius. My wife Jūratė, daughters Mantė and Gytė (both already graduated from AISV), son Ąžuolas and I enjoy being here, close to our families. I’ve lived here in my native city almost my entire life, though we spent 12 years outside of Lithuania living in Georgia, Russia, and Ukraine. We returned from Ukraine in mid-2015 and came straight to AISV. This is my fifth year and third term on the Board. I'm a member of the Finance and Building Committees. I want to use my knowledge and experience to help the school extend its facilities and maintain a healthy financial position.
