Biography


John Catsimatidis came from humble beginnings . . .

 

John was born on the Greek Island of Nisyros in 1948 and 6 months  later his parents emigrated to New York City in search of a better life.  They settled on 135th Street in Harlem and his father found work as a  busboy and his mother was a stay-at-home mom.

John is a true son of New York; he was educated in both the parochial  and public school systems earning his high school diploma from Brooklyn  Tech. John enrolled in New York University to study electrical  engineering; going to school during the day and working in a small  grocery store on nights and weekends to help his parents pay the bills.  During his senior year, with just 8 credits remaining, John dropped out  of NYU to work in the grocery business full-time. By his 25th birthday  he was already a success with 10 Red Apple Supermarkets scattered along  Broadway on Manhattan’s Upper Westside.


. . . and has lived the American Dream

 

Now, four decades later the Red Apple Group has evolved into a  diversified corporation that has holdings in the energy, aviation,  retail and real estate sectors and over 8,000 employees, with  approximately 2,000 located in New York City. John and his wife Margo Catsimatidis live on Manhattan’s Upper East side and are parents to 2 grown children; Andrea and John Jr.

John is a firm believer in giving back to the community and has been a  strong supporter of the Police Athletic League for nearly 30 years.
He serves on the Board of Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, the Hellenic  Times Scholarship Fund, and over the years served in a variety of  volunteer positions in the Greek Orthodox Church.

Special Announcement: Join us this weekend on America's Roundtable Radio with John Catsimatidis!

Listen live — at 8:30 A.M. ET | Saturday morning via SuperTalk FM | https://www.supertalk.fm/


Join  us this weekend on America's Roundtable as Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand  Samy host Billionaire entrepreneur John Catsimatidis, owner and CEO of  the Red Apple Group.  John Catsimatidis will reveal how his instincts  and common sense  propelled him to massive business success in this  detailed account  of an incredible rags-to-riches story.
 

Born  on the  small Greek island of Nisyros, John Catsimatidis immigrated to  the  States with his family and quickly became a true New Yorker, raised  in  Harlem. He went to school by day and worked in a small grocery  store by  night to help his parents pay the bills until, just eight  credits short  of graduating from New York University, he opted to work  in the grocery  business full-time.
 

Today,  that grocery business has become the  Red Apple Group, a conglomerate  with interests in energy, real estate,  aviation, baseball,  entertainment, and media, including the iconic radio  station WABC,  where John hosts leading figures in government, politics,  business, and  economics. 
 

As  Catsimatidis has discovered, the  American Dream doesn’t come with an  instruction manual—or even a sign to  let you know when you’ve arrived  at the finish line. How Far Do You Want to Go? tells Catsimatidis’s  dynamic story, from his beginnings in the grocery  business to entering  the political arena, including a New York City  mayoral campaign. He’s  tried his hand at nearly everything, but he’s far  from finished with  his adventures. Now, he offers readers a glimpse  into the wisdom he’s  gained—and the excitement he has for what the  future holds in store.
