RAYMOND FALTINSKY
CEO & Co-Founder
Ray discovered the power of nutritional supplements when
his mother was cured of a crippling case of osteoporosis through a special blend of vitamins and minerals. It became his mission to help spread the power of nutrition throughout the world.
Ray received his Bachelor of Science degree from Trinity College and his Jurist Doctorate from Yale Law School. It was at Yale that he began researching the Direct Sales industry. His intensive research over a two-year period resulted in a 50-page thesis on direct selling, its viability as an effective means of distribution, and its legal ramifications.
Combining his passion for nutrition with his newfound interest in Direct Sales, Ray set out to form the ideal home-based business opportunity distributing life-changing wellness products. Years of planning were dedicated to creating and launching FreeLife International.
Ray currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Direct Selling Association (DSA).
"The greatest feeling in the world is the satisfaction of serving others. FreeLife allows you to serve others on a daily basis, from both a health and a financial prospective."
KEVIN FOURNIER
President & Co-Founder
Kevin received his Bachelor of Science degree in Economics, with a minor in Business Administration, from Central Connecticut State University. He is a Co-Founder of FreeLIfe International. Since FreeLife's inception, Kevin has served in many different capacities, ranging from C.O.O. to being the Corporate Sales Leader.
In 2004, Kevin became the President of FreeLife and has been very instrumental in guiding FreeLife to record growth during that time. He possesses a very unique skill set in that he has the organizational development and analytical skills required for his operational roles but also has excellent communication skills for his role as Co-Founder and the Corporate Sales Leader. As Kevin states, "My mission in life is to help people reach their potential. We all have greatness inside of us but require the correct environment, support, and vehicle to realize our potential. FreeLife provides everyone, regardless of their background or skills, the opportunity to maximize who we are as human beings." He, his wife Ellen, and their three children live Connecticut.
Their story is very simple, but reflects their strong commitment to the overall mission of the company, which is:
To serve each other, by promoting good health, well-being and the opportunity for an abundant life.
Beginnings
FreeLife International was launched in March 1995 by CEO Ray Faltinsky and President Kevin Fournier. Their story is very simple, but reflects their strong commitment to the overall mission of the company, which is:
To serve each other, by promoting good health, well-being and the opportunity for an abundant life.
This mission is especially meaningful to Ray because of an experience he had with his mother in the early 1980's. Ray's mother Martha was healed of a crippling case of osteoporosis through the use of nutritional supplements. This incident generated both a vision and a desire in Ray to extend the benefits of nutritional supplements to people world-wide, and became the foundation of the company's mission.
In 1989 Ray attended Yale Law School and did his graduate thesis on direct selling. He realized that word-of-mouth advertising was the most effective way to spread the word about the power of nutritional supplements. At that point, he and his friend Kevin made a commitment to each other to give people the very best that nutrition and science have to offer and allow people from all walks of life to earn significant amounts of money by helping them carry the message of the power of cutting edge nutritional products.
The Launch
From 1991 through 1995 Ray and Kevin spent thousands of hours planning the launch of FreeLife. Their efforts included raising capital from 20 investors including Anson Beard of Morgan Stanley/Dean Witter. They were also able to attract leading nutritionist, Dr. Earl Mindell to the FreeLife team. In March 1995 FreeLife launched and by the end of the year became the youngest company ever featured on the cover of Success Magazine. FreeLife's mission of "To serve each other by promoting good health, well-being and the opportunity for an abundant life" guides their every decision.
Continued Success
Over the next few years FreeLife continued its record growth. FreeLife also intensified its search for the most effective ingredients and products in the world.
