In 2000, he earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN, BSN). He later graduated from Western Carolina University with a Master of Science in Anesthesia and currently works as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA).

In 2005, Sergey moved to Greenville, South Carolina, to study at Bob Jones University Seminary, where he pursued a Master of Pastoral Theology. In 2013, he was called to pastoral ministry at a Baptist church in Spartanburg.Today, Sergey continues to serve as a pastor.
