His life lessons in determination, will power, and resilience began in 1979 at the age of 10 when his father lost the family savings to bankruptcy. Money was scarce for many years and sacrificing a normal childhood was expected for the greater good of the family. Raz spent the majority of my childhood working 14 hour days along the side with my father, mother and siblings to help make a living. Home life was turbulent and he was bullied at school. Despite this experience and all his wonderful success today, Raz remains humble and exudes a warm and kind nature. He’s a wonderfully grounded guy.
