My Journey from Berlin to Newport Beach: How a Teenage Immigrant Achieved the American Dream

“The University of Portland acknowledges with gratitude our proud alumni, Rudy Mariman. We are especially grateful to Rudy for establishing the Rudy & Gloria First Generation Scholarship Program at the University. This book chronicles Rudy’s life in Germany, his immigration to the United States in 1954 and his life arriving in Estacada, Oregon and graduating from the University of Portland in 1962. Most importantly, this book reflects upon Rudy’s fascinating career in business, the people he admires, the incredible success that he has obtained over the years, and how he continues to enjoy his work to this day!”
