Anton Ditchev was born in 1983 in Bulgaria, which was then under communist rule. His parents, Dimo and Dora, came from villages, and both were well educated and ambitious. After communism fell, his father received a NATO grant in 1991 to conduct research at Cornell University, and the family moved to Ithaca, New York. Ditchev was seven, his sister was three, and he spoke only a little English. He has said that the culture shock of arriving as a young immigrant shaped how he sees the world.
