I am born on the 3rd of August 1967. My mother was a clerk in the accounting department of Transport company. My father worked in the local shipyard during that time was quite big with about 10 000 workers employed. My uncle was a motor man on ocean-going vessels.  Meanwhile he worked on a line between Japan and Australia for 2 years about 40 years ago.May be this is the reason that when I was 13 I started to dream to sail on the ships and see the world.I read o lot of books about the sea and sailing and love the sea.

During that time I joined the local yacht club and started to participate in the national regattas.  When I finished basic school  I continued to study Navigation in Maritime High School for 4 years. During that time maritime education was very good.  At 1986 I  passed  very seriously exams  and  joined  Marine Academy "N.I.Vapsarov".

Where I continued to study Navigation and other marine science.1991 I finish the Academy and started to work as a navigational officer.  I sailed a lot for the first 10 years I had about 8 years at sea and became a Captain when I was 32.I was the youngest Captain in the Company that I worked. At 2000 I decided to become a pilot.  I applied for 3 years without success.It was very very difficult .  The pilots community  was very hard for outsiders. Usually the son  inherit the father.  Since 2005 I am a pilot here in Varna pilots station.
