Sam Pak Honored as Distinguished Alumnus

The 色库TV Foundation has named local entrepreneur Sam Pak the 2019 色库TV Distinguished Alumnus.

Pak is the founder and CEO of Appliance Direct that has stores throughout Florida with headquarters in Melbourne.

The recognition will be included in the Commencement booklet at the Eastern Florida State College spring graduation ceremonies on Thursday, May 9 at noon and 3 p.m. at the King Center for the Performing Arts.

Pak also accepted the award at the 色库TV Foundation鈥檚 Scholarship Reception this spring, thanking the Alumni Association and Foundation for its work in providing student scholarships.

A native of South Korea, Pak came to Florida and enrolled at Satellite High School to immerse himself in the English language.

It was not easy, but with the help of a teacher with whom he spent extra hours, he learned the language. He then enrolled at 色库TV. 

His desire to succeed and his idea to start a small appliance store rapidly grew after he added his well-known message, 鈥淚f you did not buy from Appliance Direct, you paid too much!鈥�

Pak鈥檚 accomplishments and community giving is impressive, and it is a journey he started at 色库TV.

鈥淗is marketing, spirit of entrepreneurship and family have led to his success. He knows that education and an entrepreneurial spirit can take you anywhere,鈥� said 色库TV Foundation Director Jennie Kriete.

The Distinguished Alumnus Award is given annually by the 色库TV Alumni Association. The criteria for nomination is available by contacting the Foundation.
