"David & Jennifer Whelan"
I've always found enterprising quite fascinating...built
and operated many companies... many successful; a couple I ran into the
ground (damn).
Past: Clothing (fashion)
industry, Gift industry...invented the "Beanie Baby Tag Protector",
Internet...launched an ISP.
Present: Nutrition
& wellness... Nutraceuticals & supplements.
I'm quite passionate
(understatement)
about what I do. If you want to feel the juice of truly vibrant health, then check out my
company.
We help people balance their pH... a factor that's paramount for good
health...
I'm passionate about life... a dreamer ...though with a good sense of
reality that keeps me grounded.
My Proverb..."In Life, you reap what you sow. If you want
a friend, be a friend. If you want money, add value to somebody or something. If
you wanna get slapped, be an ass. Simple, huh?"
I love to laugh. There are many
sides of my personality though...intense, creative, witty,
serious, thoughtful, goofball.
like to: run, rollerblade, workout, ski, scuba, travel, dine, hike, fish, listen to myself laugh, make other people laugh, watch my favorite team, listen to music,
think, ponder, dream, smile, help, contribute.
"Those people are
a success who have lived well, laughed often and loved much; who have
gained the respect of intelligent people and the love of children; who
have filled their niche and accomplished their task; who leave the world
better than they found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem
or a rescued soul; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or
failed to express it; who looked for the best in others and gave the
best they had."~ R.L Stevenson
Family: The youngest of 5 bros. I grew up in Edina, Minnesota...lived in the
Minneapolis area most of my life. My parents are (still) happily married and
live here in Scotty. All the bros are pretty spread out across the country.
Even though were far apart, we're all very close. I have 2 stellar kids (Chase &
Lindsay), a great nanny (Val), and my ex (Kathy) and I are good friends... kind
of like Demi Moore & Bruce Willis...lol.
Mission: I spin a lot of plates. I'm passionate about my company, my kids, my family and my friends. I'm looking for that (ahem) VERY special someone to share my life with. I have a huge heart for kids... especially those less fortunate. I want to leave this world having made a significant contribution... one more than "He breathed a lot of air".
Attributes: Warm, honest, trustworthy, creative, giving, passionate, persistent, strong, optimistic, realistic, funny, faithful, loyal, assertive, confident, spiritual, adventurous, peaceful, compassionate, down to earth, aesthetic. I'm a good blend of social, analytical, talkative, quiet, energetic, peaceful, inspired, serene, liberal, conservative, strong, soft, active, and chill. ***Warning though... I'm a bit of a Kramer. I run into stuff, and spill glasses of (anything) all the time.***
Fitness: Love working out. I find something about getting a good sweat-on very satisfying. I feel like super-crud if I skip a couple of days. Motion creates emotion... I like to stay moving.
Fun: I'm a people person, and I mix well with different types. I'm content doing almost anything... very flexible. I do like to have... and am... fun. I'm not a wild child... just fun.
Travel: Love it (duh). I've been to a lot of places... want to see lots more. Favorite places include New York, Caribbean (Especially Cayman), and Hong Kong. I like weekend trips and cruises too.
Food: Sushi, seafood, Italian, a good NY strip. I eat a ton of veggies during the day... keeps me alkaline, and drink 2 gallons+ of water per day. I'm all about detoxification.
Drink: Water, funky looking "green drinks" manhattans, martinis (Bonsai's), cabernet, pino noir, chardonnay and yes... a cold beer.
Religion: Christian. I'm a believer, but not a believer in what a lot of believers believe in. Christ did not burn bridges... he built them. Love your neighbor... love is a verb.
Skills: Visionary, grilling steaks, graphic design, making toast, web development, making a dinner reservation, business planning, driving, marketing, changing light bulbs (joke), sales, giving a good massage, public speaking, listening, writing, shoveling snow (not any more i guess), design, pitching a tent, effective communication, calling the electrician, e-commerce, calling the plumber (another joke), sourcing, typing, product development, profile developing, problem solving.
What's next: Getting married to the most INCERDIBLE woman EVER(!), flipping the company, world cruise.
Last Word: Your body is your temple... it's also your vehicle - take care of it. Whether you feel "driven" or "called" in life... a healthy body and a clear mind will help to take you wherever you want to go.
Don't end-up like this:
Who I'd Like to meet:
People who know how to connect... to engage. I don't like hanging out with shallow people; unfortunately this town hosts plenty of these. I'd like to meet anybody who can add value to my life... and vice versa - friends, business associates.
..
I hang with VERY cool, funny, beautiful, smart, giving and loyal people
I have lots of friends.
