>From the outset, the story of this highly accomplished, yet humble
philanthropist is much like many others while at the same time
extraordinary.
The first thing you notice about Harry Nadjarian is how impeccably
well dressed, poised and thoughtful he is. His words are measured,
he listens and speaks as only a wise man with a wealth of experience
and knowledge can. Born in Beirut into a loving Lebanese-Armenian
family, he is the son of a master tailor who credits his father for
his appreciation and taste for the finest. In 1975, he immigrated to
California following the start of the Lebanese civil war.
In 1977 Harry entered the diesel engine and parts rebuilding industry.
In 2000, he founded Industrial Motor Power Corporation. Today,
IMP Corporation is considered one of the largest privately owned
industrial power equipment trading companies in the world.
Headquartered in Burbank, California, the company supplies generators
from 500 Kilowatts to 200 Megawatt power plants, and provides
substantial power resources within the United States, Africa, the
Russian Federation, the Middle East, and South America.
Harry is a humble yet determined man on the move who, despite his
access to an abundance of resources, powerful relationships, and the
recipient of countless honors and accolades, maintains himself in a
consciously measured manner. He is a keen gentleman, whose generosity
is curiously proportionate to his successes. However, above all of
this, he takes the most pride in what he considers the greatest of
his accomplishments, being a loving husband to his wife Cheryl and
devoted father to their children, Nicholas and Alexandra. This is
evidenced clearly as his face lights up when he shares each of their
pictures, which are displayed throughout his elegant offices. There is
no doubt that Mr. Nadjarian is a proud Armenian-American with a deep
sense of duty who is always ready to help whenever and wherever the
need arises, such as he did when he was asked to Chair the Earthquake
relief fund for Armenia. He has a profound love for America, Armenia,
the Armenian Church, the Armenian service organizations and Armenians
in general. "There are certainly many far more successful people than
me out there, but so long as I can do my share, I find fulfillment and
contentment in that," he states. The Nadjarians continuously donate
to many Armenian and American charitable organizations, schools,
and churches.
Recently Mr. and Mrs. Nadjarian pledged a generous contribution of
$250,000 to the Western Prelacy of the Armenian Apostolic Church of
America, in honor of the historic Pontifical Visit of His Holiness
Aram I, Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia. The majority of
this contribution will be allocated to Prelacy Schools in California.
