Reception on March 7, 2019, and this year the honor went to Sam Pak, CEO of
Appliance Direct. Appliance Direct is headquartered in Melbourne with stores
around the state of Florida.
Mr. Pak shared a few words about his journey to the U.S. after graduating from
2019 Distinguished Alum Sam Pak and
high school in South Korea. He attended Satellite High School when he arrived in
EFSC President Dr. Jim Richey.
Florida and immersed himself in learning the English language. Mr. Pak explained
it was not easy but with the help of a teacher who spent many extra hours with
him, he was able to learn the language. Afterwards, Mr. Pak enrolled in classes at EFSC, then BCC.
Mr. Pak is famous for his TV commercials and his slogan, “If you did not buy at Appliance Direct, you paid too much.” His
marketing, spirit of entrepreneurship, and his family have led him to his success. We are all proud to call Sam Pak a TITAN of
