Congratulations to Dave and Joyce Jordan on Valentus just passing their four-year anniversary.
With an expanding product line the future never looked brighter.  Dave Jordan founded Valentus after an incredible and successful track record in both network marketing and traditional business.
Dave and Joyce Jordan’s objective in founding Valentus was very clear,
“They wanted a network marketing company where the distributor was king.” 
Now after four years, including the inevitable ups and downs of a new, start-up company Valentus is thriving and its better and stronger than ever.  You can tell a lot about a company when it faces challenges and Valentus has shown tremendous resilience as it moved through challenging times.
