  Mr. BANKS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Chuck Surack, a 
distinguished entrepreneur and servant of Indiana. Last month, the 
Indiana Chamber of Commerce named Mr. Surack as the 2019 Business 
Leader of the Year.
  Mr. Surack is the owner and president of the famous musical 
instrument and technology online retailer, Sweetwater Sound, Inc. This 
multimillion-dollar corporation was originally started with a recording 
studio in the back of Mr. Surack's VW bus. Sweetwater Sound, Inc. is 
now one of the largest instrument distributors in the United States.
  Committed to his community, Mr. Surack serves on the boards of Easter 
Seals Arc of Northeast Indiana, the Fort Wayne Philharmonic, the Fort 
Wayne Children's Zoo, and Greater Fort Wayne Inc.
  Madam Speaker, I offer my congratulations to Chuck Surack on this 
great achievement. His story is a true testament to the vitality of the 
American Dream and what a determined entrepreneur can accomplish. My 
best wishes to Mr. Chuck Surack for continued success in the years to 
come.
