About the Doser Family

Thanks for visiting DOSER.ORG. We hope you find our web site interesting. If you are curious, here is a little information about us:

Mark: I was born in Rochester, New York and grew up in nearby Fairport. After teaching in several schools in the Rochester area, I moved to Lake Placid, in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State. I taught social studies at Keene Central School in Keene Valley. I developed a real love for the Adirondack Mountains. All of the pictures on the Adirondack page I took myself. In 1996 and 1997 I taught English at two summer language camps in Banya, Bulgaria and Yalta, Crimea, Ukraine. There are many pictures and more information on the Bulgaria and Crimea pages. In 1998 I began teaching English in Sofia, Bulgaria on a fellowship from the University of Montana. From 1999 to 2004 I taught world history at the American College of Sofia. In 1999 I married Iva, who is a lawyer. I like to play the guitar, listen to music, go skiing, be outdoors, use computers and speaking Bulgarian. Some of my favorite foods are:  pizza, wafer cookies (вафли, in Bulgarian), kavarma, musaka and tacos. (See the Bulgarian page for descriptions of Bulgarian food.)

Iva: I was born in Gabrovo, Bulgaria, the youngest of three sisters. I graduated from the Aprilov High School in Gabrovo, which was the first school established in all of Bulgaria in 1835. I met Mark in 1996. I attended Sofia University and graduated in 2000 with the degree of Jurist (law). Our son Samuil was born on January 11, 2002 and our daughter Rafaela was born on July 10, 2004. I like to go for walks, exercise to keep in shape and visit new places.
