VLADIMIR INGERMAN is a distinguished oilman with a doctorate in technical science. I’ve been privileged to experience the richness of life after visiting 74 countries, swimming in 55 seas and oceans, and taking part in a sailboat journey around the world. I was born in the Soviet Union’s Northern Caucasus region. Professionally, my adventure began with the Tajikistan Field Expedition and continued into scientific circles in Moscow. Later, I led the exploration and development of oil and gas reserves in Western Siberia before traveling to the United States. Along the process, I learnt the importance of resilience and adaptation, which have been critical in my pursuit of health and life.
