Pennsylvania native Seymour Holtzman's elaborately illustrated and beautifully-designed memoir is both a personal chronicle and volume meant to inspire younger readers to innovate, explore possibilities, work hard, and never stop reaching for success. Holtzman's over-riding ambition is to point out the vast possibilities of the American free market, and the many ladders to success which it contains (for those with the will and the industry to climb them). Seymour Holtzman has managed public companies for more than 40 years and has been featured in Forbes, Business Week, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and many other national business publications. He is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Jewelcor, Inc., a former New York Stock Exchange listed company that operated a chain of retail stores throughout the United States. He was previously the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Gruen Marketing Corporation, an American Stock Exchange listed company involved in the nationwide distribution of watches. Mr. Holtzman serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Jewelcor Management, Inc., a company primarily involved in investment and management services. He is the owner of C.D.Peacock, Inc, the prominent Chicago, Illinois retail jewelry establishment as well as the Rolex Boutique Luxury Swiss in the Design District of Miami, Florida. He also has various real estate holdings.
