Synopsis

This is the story of a man from Greece and the journey that would eventually take him to the USA, the country of his dreams. Paul P. Rachmanides was born on November 19, 1949 in Dikea, Eyros, Greece. Paul’s early life on the farm and the strict rules of his father, helped establish principles for the future. After graduating from high school in June of 1967, Paul served honorably in the Greek Special Forces as a Second Lieutenant and graduated from both the Ranger and Jump schools. Paul set his mind on acquiring a student VISA and would make it to the United States on August 23, 1971. Without knowing a word of English or anyone, he received a Masters Degree from Thunderbird, the School of Global Management through perseverance and dedication. He worked for CBS Records International in Europe as an Executive Trainee for one year before resigning so he could return to his dream country, the USA. Paul felt his dream of living in America slipping away, but he would struggle but also succeed in returning. For the next twenty years Paul experiences his own Odyssey, desperately trying to build the life he wants for himself. On January 18, 2001, Paul founded State Inspection of Kingwood. He was profitable by the fourth month of operation and never looked back. Today he continues to be a very successful small business owner. This is what America is all about. A land full of promise and opportunity; “The Promised Land”. Promise and opportunity cannot be given. They are out there, they must be pursued relentlessly, regardless of the resources on hand. www.thepotatopeeler.com
