~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today’s guest, an award-winning author and professional speaker, was born and raised in a small town in NE Poland. He grew up with 5 siblings and his parents in a 16-by-24 foot, old house with a potato basement. There was no central heat, no running water, no bathroom, and no refrigerator. Alcoholism and family violence were part of his young life.
In Chez’s teenage years, the oppressive communist government corroded his homeland and people.
By age 25, his tolerance could no longer be contained. He escaped from Poland, crossed the Alps between Italy and Austria on foot, and spent 6 months in a refugee camp before coming to America.
By age 25, his tolerance could no longer be contained. He escaped from Poland, crossed the Alps between Italy and Austria on foot, and spent 6 months in a refugee camp before coming to America.
Today Chez is a well-educated man, a business owner, an award-winning author (twice), and a professional speaker. He became a proud American citizen as soon as he could – exactly 5 years after arriving in this land of opportunity.
In 2009 Chez gave 100 FREE presentations in the name of “giving back to America.”
He is the proud father of two daughters, a loving son, a brother, a friend of many and ...
a man on a mission.
He lives his life with a great attitude in spite of challenges. He reminds us all about the power of human spirit and what it means to be an American.
