Paul Orfalea ((アラビア語:بول أورفاليا)) (born November 28, 1947), nicknamed "Kinko" because of his curly red hair, founded the copy-chain Kinko's. Orfalea was born in Los Angeles, California to parents of Lebanese Eastern Orthodox Christian descent.〔 Orfalea and his wife are practicing Roman Catholics. He is currently a philanthropist and a visiting professor in the Global and International Studies Department of the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB),〔(The Orfalea Center for Global & International Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara )〕 at the Lloyd Greif Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at the University of Southern California (USC) Marshall School of Business and at the Fred Kiesner Center for Entrepreneurship for the College of Business Administration at Loyola Marymount University.〔()〕 He is a brother of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. == Early life == Orfalea's father and grandmother ran clothing stores in Los Angeles. According to Orfalea, he was a woodshop major in high school, and his typical report card was "two C's, three D's, and a F." Due to his dyslexia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Orfalea reportedly flunked two grades and was expelled from several schools. He later attended the University of Southern California.〔 Despite being fired from a number of jobs, his family supported him in his determination to launch his own business.〔 In later life he remarked on the subject of his handicaps, "I get bored easily, and that is a great motivator, I think everybody should have dyslexia and ADD."
