Alana: So, Ron, you are the founder of AminoGenesis, so do you mind telling us a little bit

of your background and where AminoGenesis came from and its kind of foundations.

Ron: You know what?

As with many great discoveries, total by accident.

I was introduced to AminoGenesis--the base formula that became AminoGenesis by accident.

I was playing golf with a retired Harvard-trained physician, and this was in my late 30s

and this was 15 or 16 years ago and my skin was in such bad shape.

I had gotten chicken pox when I was 28 years old.

It left my skin absolutely hammered, discolored, very peeling and red.

I was very, very self-conscious, very embarrassed, and he gave me some of this and said,

"I think this will help."

I said, "Well, where do I get it that?"

So, I used it and then like a couple months later, I went up to friends at a bar going like,

"What did you do to your skin?

It looks really, really good."

And I'm very embarrassed about this, but it's true and I start explaining that I got this

special stuff from this doctor, and then the lady bartender reached over and said,

"You know, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but where can I get some of that?"

Well, that started it and it sort of started the whole ball-roll.

So, I went back and I started working with this doctor to try to understand what they've done,

why it wasn't available to the public, and over the course of the next few years,

I actually acquired the rights to the formula and started AminoGenesis based on this one

base formula.

And everything we do now is based on that individual first formula that was created

that I discovered, you know, going on 15 years ago now.

Alana: Wow, that's amazing.

Thank you for sharing that.
