Who was Michael Kormanik?
Michael Kormanik was a native of Paramus, New Jersey, and a Sandwich Artist at DENAROS DELI. He was a loving brother to Jessika Kormanik. Since he was a small child, Mike had always wanted a career involving his hands. The position he finally got was next to his father at Denaro’s Deli in Dumont, and it has nothing to do with his passion for auto repair. He believed that since he was always skilled with tools, that was where his future lay.
Ivan, the father of Mike, purchased Denaro’s in 2004 following a lengthy career in the television business. The deli has been a mainstay in Dumont for more than 50 years, having been opened in 1962. After high school, Mike moved in with his father. With an eye on managing the business side of the deli, he continued on to William Paterson University to earn a degree in business management.
And Kormanik found his own calling in the deli. In addition to producing the goods, he takes pleasure in seeing his clients every day. Working with his father was perhaps the nicest part of Kormanik’s career, aside from having devoted clients and loving what he does. Mike always had a wonderful relationship with his father. Over time, they develop into the best of friends and collaborate incredibly well.
