About Him

How does one describe Boris Godunov Pevzner?

Aloof comes to mind, as Boris can often physically occupy a space without really being there.  Howotter, Super-Engaged would replace aloof if you've ever espied Boris tackling a work problem or investigating a school/camp for his boys or counseling a friend in need. 

Even-Keeled also fits.  How many of us have truly witnessed emotional displays from the birthday otter? Psst.  I have.  I’ve personally witnessed Concerned Boris. First time was May 21, 2012 when his then girlfriend (now Esposa) Cristina texted him from behind barricades at Occupy Barcelona as things turned violent between protestors and police.  Last time was July 5, 2021 when Boris was unable to reach the babysitter who was supposed to meet his eldest son, Oscar, from Robot Campcamp.

Science und Data Boris is one we could all surely agree on.  Having Boris hold forth on his favorite quantum particles or his newest favored theories (Emergence being the latest) is quite a treat for those of us who didn’t learn Physics at MIT. Yet, is there anyone here who hasn’t witnessed Costumed Boris? Whether at the New Bohemian Circus Burlesque party - or the Village Halloween Parade - or Cristina/Boris Wedding 2.02 where he even out-costumed the Bride?

Is that it? Have we properly captured Boris now? Wait! Oh snap! How could we omit Entrepreneur Boris? As everyone surely knows, Boris is not only a veteran Founder, he is the progenitor of Platform Thinking. Da, even as these words are typed, Boris is launching a new platform into the (art) world empowering artists and protecting sellers. Yes, yes, anotter contradiction. Our birthday entrepreneur from St. Petersburg, Soviet Union and Jackson Heights, Queens is - wait for it - a Man of The People. #Duh You can see it in his lack of airs. In his comfort with people of all socio-economic and educational stations.  Boris is a Populo-Capitlaist.  In otterwords, an ambitious man with a heart. And, thus, we will end with Warm-Hearted. 

What? You didn’t know? You thought Boris’ steely gaze and Sherlock Holmesian monologues constituted the whole enchilada? Tsk Tsk.  Have you never seen this man belly laugh? Have you never seen him dote on his mother or celebrate his new niece?  Did you know that during Hurricane Sandy - with his then company teetering on the edge of collapse – Boris chose to immediately pay his employees rather than wait for the government to do it?  

​

Who is Boris Gudonov Pevzner? Who is this Birthday Otter?

He is a son, a brother, a brother in law, an uncle, a husband, a father, an entrepreneur, a scientist, and one heckuva layered guy.

And for me, and many of you, he is a Dear Friend.

Best,

Eric
