About Yosif Simiryan:

Yosif was born in Moldova in the former Soviet Union.  He emigrated to the United States as a refugee in the pursuit of  religious freedom and the opportunity to worship as a Jew in 1992 with his mother, Ester and father, Haim. 

Yosif studied for a doctorate in mathematics in Novosibirsk and Kishinev.  He has a Masters degree in Electrical Engineering/Computer Science and an MBA in Soviet Economy. 

Yosif has worked for Swanson Inmate Commissary, IBM, Kodak, Frontier, Fast and Global Crossings as a Software/Implementation Engineer and Computer Programmer.  He recently completed a two year association with Step by Step—a non profit agency, developing a complex database for fundraising and donation efforts as well as a LAN-network in rural West Virginia. 

He provides consulting services to profit and non-profit agencies concerning IT updates, relational databases, data recovery and web development.

Yosif  is currently assisting in designing and developing an on-line magazine,  Yefim—A Literary Journal.

Yosif recently completed a ten year project (hobby) on designing geodesic dome structures.  After copyrighting his formula he began to test the calculations by organizing the construction of a “Yossie Dome” at Big Ugly Community Centre near Harts, WV.  The project was completed through AmeriCorps, the NCCC and a lot of organizing /reorganizing from local residents (special thanks to Henry!).  He has also constructed a “Yossie Dome” in our back yard for a combination (5766) Sukkah and  green house.

Update:  Yosif has a new project.  He is considering an opportunity with Horosho Dlia-Menia Publishing  (HDMP) to manage web development and marketing plans for English, Russian , Moldovan, and Romanian publishing ventures/markets.  HDMP is also dedicated to the publication of Spiritual Jewish Writings. 

Update: 

Yosif has added another commitment to his busy life:  he will be assisting grassroot projects and community ventures with the Preservation Alliance of West Virginia.  He will be involved in with this non-profit group for the next year.
