Additional Information

My name is Michael Budzik, and I was born and raised in Illinois. Yet, I grew up in a European household, I was deeply influenced by my parents' journey. They both emigrated from Poland to the United States in their late teenage years, driven by the promise of the “American dream.” Settling in Chicago, they worked tirelessly to build a better life for our family. I admire my parents as both inspirations and motivators. Their resilience and determination taught me that challenges are opportunities for growth. With their beliefs firmly ingrained in me, I face obstacles with the same unwavering spirit. I believe that by channeling their mindset, I can achieve great things.
