David Schmidt is the Founder and CEO of LifeWave, a leading health and wellness company. He started the company in 2004 with the stated goal of helping people feel better, look younger and lead more joyful lives through health and wellness products that tap into the body’s natural energy and resiliency. The company also works to create business opportunities that can help people find professional fulfillment through company partnerships. The CEO attended Pace University in Pleasantville, NY where he received his formal education in Management Information Systems and Biology. Following his undergraduate work, he embarked on a career centered around business and development. Many of his efforts at this time were focused on product innovation, an interest of his since his childhood days spent admiring the work of Thomas Edison. In his own work, the future CEO created novel techniques for synthesizing oxygen and hydrogen, designed a bladeless turbine generator, and worked on a combustion rocket engine. David Schmidt created LifeWave after working to create methods that could help raise energy levels without resorting to potentially harmful drugs. His solution to this problem was the creation of his patented phototherapy patches, which now form the foundation of his company’s offerings. The patches work through topical application on a user’s skin where they can reflect specific wavelengths of light back into the body. This reflected light then initiates powerful changes to the body at the cellular level, creating the health and wellness benefits for which LifeWave has become known.
