When Poland gained it’s independence in 1989, I wanted to join the United States Navy to become a SEAL operator, but that was only a sweet dream. In reality I wanted to become a Polish Air Force pilot but, my application was rejected. I was one year late with my application. After I graduated high school I joined the Polish Army Officer School to become an officer. After a month in Officer Candidate School the conditions were so horrible, that people were dropping out left and right, heading back to civilian world. I went to University and got my electrical engineering degree to run my own company and I married the love of my life. I’d come to America couple times. Finally I’m here, 100% legally. I fell in love with coffee, especially iced coffee and the Chicagoland area and where we live now.
With my love of America, the U.S. Military and of coffee I have joined Gun Barrel Coffee Incorporated – to show my support for the country that’s been so good to me, so good in so little time.
