About Pres Vasilev

Pres Vasilev is the 2013 Toastmasters International
World Champion of Public Speaking

Pres-Vasilev-2013-World-Champion-of-Public-SpeakingWhen he was a small boy back in Bulgaria, Pres Vasilev read a book that sparked his dream to come to America.

In 2002, his dream came true. Pres came alone, but he brought big goals, bold dreams, and a sexy accent.

Yes, the first question he faced was always, “Where’re you from?” He struggled with English, but sharing his story helped him win friends fast and quickly cope with the culture shock.

Three years later, Pres Vasilev was due for another adventure. He took the job that changed his life – selling children’s books door to door.

From house to house, Pres pedaled his bike and peddled his books. When people asked him, “Where’re you from?” Pres told them his story.

Swayed by the power of books to spark dreams, many became his customers, turning Pres Vasilev into a top producer. His adventure in door-to-door sales led Pres Vasilev to the world of inside sales.

Pres also dedicated himself to personal development. For more than two decades, he has studied, researched, written, and spoken on self-improvement, speechwriting, speaking, selling, and storytelling.
