The Dmitry Nikolaevich Paryshev biography is connected with the development of one of the largest enterprises in the Kurgan region, which he joined many years ago as a craftsman.

Dmitry Nikolaevich Paryshev: Brief biography

Dmitry Nikolaevich Paryshev was born in Kurgan on 5/15/1979. In his childhood, he spent a lot of time at his father’s work, at a plant that produced metal structures used for building bridges. Dmitry Paryshev was interested in the various Kurganstalmost workshops, where more than 1,000 employees worked even back then. He was impressed by the scale of production, but was not seriously thinking about a career at that time.

Paryshev Dmitry got interested in hockey while he was in school. He was quite advanced by the time he was a teenager, and he went to the Voskresensk hockey school to continue improving his skills. The institution trains talented young people from all over the country. Among its graduates are some outstanding hockey players, including world and Olympic champions. Dmitry Paryshev spent several years at the sports school.

Paryshev Dmitry then returned to Kurgan, where he played for the Mostovik Hockey Club until the early 2000s. He was also a physical education instructor for the team. Over time, he realized that professional sports take a toll on a player’s health, as he received injuries that prevented him from continuing his hockey career.

Dmitry Paryshev decided to get his higher education in a completely different field – economics. In 2001, he graduated from Kurgan State University, in his hometown. Just a week after graduation, Paryshev Dmitry was drafted into the army. He served in a radiation, chemical, and biological protection unit.

After he was discharged from the army, he decided to build a career at the largest production facility in the city.
