Anatoly Nirshberg, Entrepreneur and Philanthropist
Successful Entrepreneur Gives of His Time and Talents to Support Area Causes
Online, March 12, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Having built a successful career in the real estate industry and ultimately as an entrepreneur, Anatoly Nirshberg has always felt it important to be a leader both professionally and personally. A founding member of the successful PayLessNow website and an accomplished sales team leader, Anatoly Nirshberg has still found time to give back in his community.
Nirshberg has particularly shown interest in assisting immigrants with intricacies such as overcoming the language barrier, becoming home owners, and adapting to life in America. An immigrant to the United States himself, Nirshberg's family relocated from Moscow in 1989. The struggle his family faced in learning English and adjusting to life in America has been a key reason for his involvement with institutions like the Palatine Township Senior Center and the University of Chicago.
As part of his volunteer work with the Palatine Township Senior Center, Nirshberg directly assisted immigrant seniors who were unfamiliar with the English language and the basic nuisances of everyday life in America. Nirshberg helped seniors overcome the language barrier while teaching them the skills they needed to get by in their new home country. Nirshberg found that this volunteer work was a valuable use of his both his past experiences and unique skills. After all, he himself had so successfully overcome these obstacles in his life. For seniors seeking to make a life in the U.S., Nirshberg was always a welcome teacher.
Continuing his passion for immigrant services, Nirshberg found new ways to aid the immigrant community. On a reoccurring basis, Nirshberg hosted speaking engagements at the University of Chicago to welcome new out-of-country professors to their home in Chicago. During his speaking engagements, Nirshberg details information about how to navigate the particulars of homeownership and presented valuable tools for managing their finances in a foreign environment. Many attendees have left these intensive presentations with a mind full of new knowledge that helped them succeed as residents of Chicago and the United States.
In support of his ongoing international interests, Nirshberg even attended and donated to the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Chicago. The fundraiser not only honored the numerous accomplishments of U.S. based athletes over the years, but also supported Chicago's 2016 Olympic bid. Nirshberg's donation helped contribute to the nearly $5 million raised for the event.
Nirshberg believes that after all of his personal success it is important to give back to the immigrant community from which he came. Moving forward, Nirshberg plans to continue his efforts to educate the immigrant community in Chicago and give where he can to support the international causes he cherishes.
