The Story Behind Rick Czaplewski
Diagnosed with cancer at age 19 as a college freshman, Rick Czaplewski received radiation treatment at the hospital next to his university. Daily, he walked from his dorm room to the hospital, alone, and told no one. He walked alone. After having a relapse, dropping out of college, and undergoing chemo and more radiation, Rick recovered and beat cancer. He returned to life with a vengeance to climb Mt. Rainier, swim from Alcatraz, and run the Boston Marathon. Rick has been a CPA, Strategic Supply Manager, Project Manager, Director of Project Management, and Senior Director of Operations and has worked for KPMG, Hewlett Packard, Siemens, Evoqua, and Xylem. Today, Rick teaches negotiation and leadership skills to executives and professionals.
