He was named CUNYAC Coach of the Year for the first time following the 2022 season, during which the Bearcats won 10 matches and went undefeated in conference play (7-0).

A native of Belarus, Kamenshchik graduated from Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn in 1999. He began his college career at New York City College of Technology (City Tech), where he played varsity soccer and served as team captain during his sophomore year. He transferred to Baruch in 2001 and played two seasons for the Bearcats, earning team captain honors in his senior year (2003).
He earned a B.A. in Marketing Management from Baruch in January 2004 and later completed a Master’s in Higher Education from the Marxe School of Public and International Affairs at Baruch in 2016.
