Vitaliy Goncharenko

I was born in Kiev, Ukraine and moved to San Francisco, CA at the age of 5. I have lived in 4 different states and currently live in my 19th residence. Yes, I have moved (on average) approximately every 2 years of my life! I realized that I liked math when I was 7 and knew that I wanted to do math for a living when I grew up. At one point, I wanted to become a video game designer, but eventually gave up on that and decided to teach. I have never regretted my decision. As of right now, I have taught for over 10 years. Currently working at Kennesaw State University. I came to a personal faith in Jesus Christ at 14 and went to Bible school when I was 23. Bible school strengthened my faith in God's word and helped me overcome difficult times. It is my previous training and experience from years of being a Christian that gives me the confidence to push forward during uncertain times. I currently do weekly bible studies over the phone and go to a church in Smyrna, GA.
