==Biography==
Ledecky was born in 1958 in New York City, the son of a Czechoslovakian immigrant who came to America eleven years prior to study English at Rutgers University. Growing up on Queens and Brooklyn, he became a New York Yankees fan. After moving in 1972 to Greenwich, Connecticut, Ledecky attended Greenwich High School, with extracurricular journalism work that would have earned Ledecky a scholarship at Vanderbilt University if his father had not insisted on attending an Ivy League school. Thus Ledecky started studying business administration at Harvard University, continuing his reporter work at ''The Harvard Crimson'' and college station WHRB. Ledecky earned his bachelor's degree in 1979 and completed a Master of Business Administration in 1983, which was followed by a series of venture capital-type jobs. After being dismissed from Steelcase in 1994, Ledecky decided to open his own company in the office supplies business. Backed by a number of Harvard alumni, U.S. Office Products was founded in 1994, and had its initial public offering one year later. By the time Ledecky left U.S. Office Products in 1998, his fortune was estimated at $200 million.〔(Philanthropist Makes Fortune on ‘Rollup’ Concept )〕
