Here’s Davids’ Bio:

Hi Everyone :-)

Isn't AdlandPro the greatest?! Thank you LaNell for nominating little poor me. Thankyou to all my friends for their support and help.

I come from a large Mormon family. I am the oldest of a family of 10. My family moved around a lot. No we were not in the military, that is just what my father did. By the time I was 21 I had moved 24 times. I have lived all over the central western states, UT, AZ, NV

I started in Salt Lake City, UT near Streetor Chevrolet. I used to sneak out of the house and fenced yard to watch the new cars get washed until my mother found out one day when the sales manager brought me home and told on me, LOL. We lived in Salt Lake City until I started school, 1st grade. I missed kindergarten.

We moved to Logan, UT. I loved the snow, green grass, and water. We lived there until I was in 5th grade when we moved to Cedar City, UT. I met prejudice there. Having moved around much, I have always been on the outside of social groups. That is my live. I am used to it. Even now in this town I live in now for the last 19 yrs, I am still pretty much a loner. People know me but I am not considered a close friend of anyone.

I went to junior high on the indian reservation at Ft. Defiance, AZ. It was very hot and dry there. Sand everywhere. Very little grass. I always missed the grass and green that was in Logan. The floods were neat as they flowed across the parched ground engulfing all in their path. Once my family in our car late at night jumped a flood with the car by accident. Scared us all to death. As you can imagine, that was an interesting experience. By the time I left the indian reservation, I had many Navajo friends. I have learned from my many travels that people are people everywhere.

I started High School at Colorado City Academy. I went from there to St. George,UT to Overton, NV to St. George, UT to West Valley, UT. I graduated from Granger High in West Valley, UT a suburb of Salt Lake City, UT. I got a full scholarship there to go to the University of Utah in the Materials Science and Engineering department. My friend Keith Casper and I both got the scholarship.

My father's family went through many hardships during this time. My father lost his job and became ill. I had to work to support the family. My grades dropped at college so I was not chosen to continue in the engineering program. Also, at this same time, President Ronald Reagan cut off welfare assistance to the poor so my our family lost our home. We split up at this point.

I went to live with an uncle. My father's family went to live with friends in Magna, UT. I still helped them out as I could. I tried a bunch of different things at this time to continue college and take care of my father's family as I could. I started a sales job selling china, silverware and stainless waterless cookware. This was the beginning of my sales experience. Things went from bad to worse with my father's family and too some extent mystelf. I dropped out of college. I went to work for my great uncle building quakey pole fence up Salina Canyon near Richfield, UT. I worked with my Great Uncle that spring and all that summer. (Click the MyResume link in the upper right hand corner of my Products page to see more of my work experience. Be warned though, I am a details person. Guess what, there is a lot of detail there in my resume ;-) )

Summary: Three days later I had my teaching certificate and was teaching school

My great grandfather was my mentor at the time. He has watched over me since I was a little boy. He encouraged me to go back to college and get my teaching degree as the small town where most of our relatives were. The town needed teachers. So that is what I did. Two years later I graduated with my teaching endorsements. I have a B.S. in Physical Science Composite with a Secondary Education Teaching Endorsement. Three days later I had my teaching certificate and was teaching school.

One month later I married the love of my life, Nancy. We have been married for 19 years now. We have 9 children, 6 girls and 3 boys. We live in the same rural community where I taught school for 12 years on a small farm with a garden, chickens, geese, cats, horses, and goats. Boy do we need to plant a field of hay! Our town is on the Arizona Strip. It is much like Ft. Defiance, AZ where I lived as a boy. It is hot and dry with a lot of sand and dust. I miss the green here also. We live in a nice house though with some grass and trees which is a great comfort. We are in the middle of what people call Color Country. We live by many National Parks, Zion's Park I can see out my office window if I stretch my neck. The Grand Canyon is about 10 miles south of us. Kolob Canyon and Bryce Canyon are not far also. Then there is Lake Powell in Page, AZ. Lake Powell has as much shore line as the east and west coast together.

We live in a paradise for hikers, horse riders, and general outdoors people. I am too much of a work-a-holic, LOL. Besides my health has kept me from being too rambunctious. Lake Powell is great for boating and other water sports. It is an explorers paradise. If I had come here rich, I would probably own a house boat and live during the months where weather permitted on the lake. There are canyons there that no one has ever been to they say. Or at least when you get there you would never tell anyone else about it ;-) You like to keep little places like these canyons your own little secret to treasure and someday return to.

I taught school in this rural Northern Arizona town for 12 years. I then got sick and had to retire from teaching. I have been working for myself ever since. During this time of teaching I never had enough money. I was always looking for something extra. I started my company DB Research, LC back then. What follows in my history with DB Research, LC, my struggles with my health and my health business.

DB Research, LC and Healing

As you know, I am a retired school teacher. I taught in the public schools 12 years. I taught Math, Science, and computer science in the local high school. I am a geek, yet I love to work with other people and help them.

Web Developer, Software Engineer, and Marketer

Currently I work at home at my business, DB Research, LC. I have owned this business for over 20 years. It started out as a computer sales and service business for local businesses. That worked well for awhile. The markets changed though and so did I. I have since focused on the health and wellness industry. I am also a software engineer. I am one of the few programmers that can actually program a commission backend for Network Marketing companies.

Summary: AdlandPro is the Greatest

I really enjoy AdlandPro. It has been one of my greatest resources. The people here at AdlandPro are like minded and friendly. AdlandPro is the best business portal in my opinion. I put my money where my mouth is with AdlandPro being an Adlander and a Gold member of AdlandPro. I recommend you seriously consider doing the same, all you out there looking to make a success with the internet.

Right now I love to run my health business. I spend most of the day on the phone. I also develope and maintain websites for my clients. I provide web promotions, press release, and publishing services. I have had some fanatastic success with some new technology health equipment using reflexology which I liked so much I became a distributor for the companies. Business is growing rapidly so I am quite busy what with my regular clients and the new products.
