As a child, Vitaliy went in for judo, kickboxing, biathlon and ballroom dancing, loved skiing and skating, and sang in the choir. Graduated with honors from shorthand courses.
Vitaliy helped his parents in the family business, working as a salesman until he was drafted into the army for two years. Upon his return, he worked in the field of printing and cleaning.
In 2001, Vitaliy firmly decided to lead a Christian lifestyle, having learned about God's commandments and seeing the benefits of applying them to other Christians.
In 2013, Vitaliy married Nataliya, who shared his views on life. Unfortunately, just a year later she became seriously ill, and she was assigned a III disability group. The couple enjoy spending time outdoors with friends and playing board games. Nataliya has two adult daughters.
