Born into a Seto family, he is the son of Nektari[1] and Valve Maksimovski. He also has one sibling. From 1984–1991, he studied at Tallinn University of Technology. Beginning in 1993, Maksimovski worked at the State Infocommunication Foundation where he was employed for 16 years until 2009.[2]
In 2004, Maksimovski began to date Kaljulaid and the couple had their first son in 2005, having their second just four years later.[3] They were officially married in 2011. Outside the Presidential Palace, Maksimovski owns an apartment in Lasnamäe. Little is known about his daily life, which leads some in the Estonian media to speculate that he is part of the domestic intelligence service.[4][2][5][6][7][8]
