Enough of the sales pitch. Let me tell you a little about myself. I was born in the summer of 1954. As a child, I grew up in Jersey City, directly across the Hudson River from Manhattan, NYC. My parents worked in banking and aluminum can processing; mom and dad, respectively. I attended a private grammar school and moved on to a Christian Brothers' high school in Jersey City once I graduated. This prestigious high school became my academic home until 1972 when I began to attend college. St. Peters' College was an obvious choice since it was also located in the city by the River. That's a picture of me in 1972, just before entering college.

I must admit that I am a little lighter on top these days. My flowing, wavy hair has receded, and balding has set in. Hereditary, I guess. My grandfather, who had majored in science during the 1920s had balded at an early age. Hence, I am today striving to stimulate my own hair growth and commit to stop "blinding my friends" and family.

In college, I majored in Biology and became a Biology and Chemistry teacher in 1978 after unsuccessfully attempting a career in medicine. Ultrasound technology was in its' infant stages, and I had attended a reputable school, earned an accredited certificate, and had working experience in the new diagnostic field. However, the money was not to my liking since I had contemplated marriage. Moving to the academic world of teaching was a wiser choice.

As a teacher, I felt important as a conveyor of knowledge. This pursuit lasted two years when I decided to enter the world of plastics. I became a quality control inspector and eventually moved up the ladder to become a Uniroyal Technology Corporation supervisor. Four years later, in 1984, I became Quality Control manager and Shipping manager for a division of UTC known as Glasflex. I spent the next 16 years in Glasflex as a manager.

Now, that brings us to the year 2000, the new millennium. Many changes were to occur in the years to follow, including the tragedy of 9/11. My personal tragedy involved my termination as a manager in UTC. Our division was closed due to decreasing profits. Time to move on into the food industry.

I worked for a local supermarket in New Jersey for the next 7 years. Actually, my association with the supermarket began in 1990. I had been working part-time while being employed by Glasflex.

As the economy worsened, I started to think about opening my own business. My affinity with the biological sciences had never faded away. At the same time, I became more interested in vitamins, healthy eating, healthy lifestyle decisions, and stress avoidance. God knows the stress that I had seen in 30 years.

Along the way, I had developed a number of skin disorders which I had attributed to this encounter with stress. Psoriasis-like skin redness and flaking, dry hands and feet, and scalp problems plagued me for years. I tried a number of different topical applications for skin ailments. Some helped. Others made the situation worse. Finally, I stumbled on zinc oxide cream-diaper rash cream. Continued use of this application eventually relieved my "dry" affliction.

I continued to research skin disorders and eventually began a regimen of daily vitamins, including zinc, to maintain skin health. Of course, taking multi-vitamins as well as individual doses of antioxidants and minerals could only improve my overall health. I began to look more healthy. Coupled with topical face cream, sold as an anti-aging application, I began to take better care of myself.

Did I fail to mention my children? Yes, I guess I did. Along the way, I had two beautiful daughters from my first marriage and had acquired two more beautiful daughters from the second time around. Being surrounded by women, you get to know a little bit about professional beauty supplies. One of my stepdaughters became actively involved in Karate for exercise and self-defense. I started to become interested in Yoga and breathing exercises to lower blood pressure and relieve stress. My new wife, who I married in 1997, started looking into remedies for asthma and the benefits of St. Johns' wart and black cohosh in controlling stress and promoting an overall feeling of well-being. As you can see, all of the things that I have mentioned began to help me formulate a holistic perspective on living a healthy lifestyle. My wife and I also started to follow a healthy diet, avoiding fried foods, and concentrating on lowering fat and salt intake.

Earlier, I alluded to the idea of starting my own business. All of the influences and factors surrounding me had to lead me to one conclusion: I was best suited in a home business that I knew something about.
