VLADIMIR INGERMAN, a distinguished oilman and doctor of technical science. I’ve been privileged to observe the richness of life by exploring 74 nations, swimming in 55 seas and oceans, and participating in a sailboat journey around the world. I was born in the Soviet Union’s North Caucasus. Professionally, my adventure began in Tajikistan’s 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 moving to the United States. Along the process, I learnt the values of resilience and adaptation, which have been critical in my pursuit of health and life.
