During his school years, Ethan lacked clarity about his future but remained optimistic and goal-oriented. Growing up in a single-parent household and living below the breadline limited his access to external motivation.
His father, George, had left school in Standard One with no formal education to support his family. Recognizing the missed opportunities in his own life, George prioritized education and instilled this value in Ethan. Despite their challenges, Ethan adopted his father's resilience and understood that giving up was never an option, a mindset that fueled his journey.
With the support of friends Sandra and James, Ethan completed his schooling and pursued his dream of becoming an engineering graduate. He credits his success to the values instilled by his faith, his father George, and the guidance of fellow civil engineer Duane.
These early influences gave him a strong sense of purpose, driving him to establish a network of innovative companies such as Ethan R. Esbach Holdings, E-Squared Tutoring, Esbach Transport, ERE Consulting Engineers, Thee-Shop, and The Keynote, each reflecting unique facets of his personality.
Ethan is also writing a series of books based on the principles of success he has learned through his experiences and networks. As a motivational speaker, he believes in sharing knowledge within the community. By imparting his hard-earned insights, he aims to inspire others and help them discover their purpose.
One of his books launched entiled RESILIENT, has formed the first step in the process of educating and sharing knowledge.
