Backstory: Jan was born and raised in Solniczki, a village near Białystok, Poland. His father expected him to work on the family farm. Jan did well academically and learned quickly, but had little interest in sports or farm labor. As a teenager, Jan began traveling regularly to Białystok, where he became involved with a group of older youths connected to petty crime, including pickpocketing and graffiti. Despite this, he continued attending liceum and was considered gifted. By sixteen to seventeen, his problems with the law increased. To avoid the risk of prison or forced military service, his family arranged for him to leave Poland. At eighteen, he moved to Chicago, initially expecting support from his aunt, which did not work out. He instead found housing through Łukasz, an acquaintance from Białystok, and moved into a shared apartment. He presents himself to his father as aiming for restaurant management, while privately he hopes to become a writer, focusing on stories about migration, identity, and love.
