Sunny and King Babila-Pinyin

Platinum Senior Vice Presidents

As an Information Systems Audit Manager, Sunny Pinyin hated his early morning commute to work. Thanks to his 5LINX® business, “I now have the shortest commute — from my bedroom to my home office,” he exclaims. “I am no longer a slave to the alarm clock.” That’s just one of the several ways the 5LINX® opportunity has changed his and King’s life.

Prior to 5LINX® Emeldine King Njoya-Pinyin was a Database Administrator for an established mortgage bank. She had been looking for a way out of corporate America into owning her own business. “When I came across this opportunity, all I did was run with it the best way I knew how. I took all the chances in the world and it paid off big time! I am now doing what I love to do and I know the sky is my limit.”

“It’s so amazing because as an Information Systems professional, I had dealt with VoIP in the past, but I never had the opportunity of being in the position to market it. That“s why during the presentation that changed our lives on August 28, 2005, I knew for sure that this was going to be it for me and my family,” states Sunny.

Growing up, Sunny and King dreamt of doing great things for their families and the world, but they could not figure out how to accomplish these goals. “With this opportunity, we see ourselves going overboard,” states King. “Our greatest accomplishment has been the ability to grow and develop into the true persons we are today.” “I am a proud father, husband, mentor, helper and facilitator that I have always wanted to be, thanks to 5LINX® and the great people I have come to know through the business,” adds Sunny.

“We pray to the Almighty every day to provide us with the strength, energy and the vision to impact everyone we come across in a positive way. We sincerely hope that people will stop being their own obstacles and embrace life's challenges. No condition is permanent as we say back home. But it is up to you to bring about the changes that you so desire.

We believe that everybody can! For those already in the business, keep your focus. Never quit because “winners don’t quit and quitters don‘t win.” Be consistent and persistent and success will sure knock on your door one day.“

Sunny and King thank the founders of 5LINX® for putting together such a magnificent array of products and services that ordinary people can market. “We want to thank them for their continued effort in making 5LINX® an incredible opportunity for that individual who desires success.”

They also want to express sincere gratitude and appreciation for their wonderful, supportive, encouraging and determined business partners! “You make us proud. We await your stories at the next national convention.”

“And for you, our friend/reader, may the sky be your limit! Good luck and stay blessed.”

Steve and Pasha Carter

Platinum Senior Vice Presidents

Steve and Pasha Carter have been building their 5LINX® business for only nine months and are the first Platinum Senior Vice Presidents in the history of 5LINX! Along with receiving a check for over $127,000 and matching diamond 5LINX® rings, they are the first PSVPs to receive a beautiful Bentley!

“Prior to 5LINX, we spent more than 11 years with another telecom company. One of the biggest differences we see with 5LINX® is that, as far as customers go, what you build is yours to keep!” exclaims Steve. “You can truly build long-term residual income and know that it won’t be taken away from you as long as your customers remain on the service.”

Lisa Nicole Cloud

Platinum Senior Vice President

Lisa Nicole Cloud joined 5LINX® in April, 2004. While she was making a good living in pharmaceutical sales, “I just felt like I was not doing what I was intended to do in this life.” She heard about 5LINX® after accidentally receiving an email from SVP Barry Donalson that was intended for a different Lisa. “This email triggered a series of emails and I learned that Mr. Donalson was departing from a MLM company where he was a top income earner in the company to join 5LINX®. Amazed at his decision to leave a lucrative income and start over, I was interested in what he was getting ready to embark upon and I was open to learning about the 5LINX® opportunity.”

While building her 5LINX® business on a part-time basis, Lisa learned that it could be pretty lucrative with minimal effort. It was at this time that she became pregnant. “I found a new passion for building my 5LINX® business. I wanted out of corporate America and I wanted to be home and raise my child.” She worked at her 5LINX® business harder than ever and her group started to build momentum.

However, upon experiencing pregnancy complications, Lisa had to take a leave of absence from building her 5LINX® business. During this absence much of the group died and went dormant and Lisa had to rebuild her business. She came back with a vengeance. “My ‘why’ was stronger than ever and I knew I was building a business that would get me out of my job and leave a legacy for my child.”

Lisa achieved National Director in about 14 months and in her second year, she was able to go full time in 5LINX® , leaving a six figure income in pharmaceutical sales.

Lisa is now an SVP and in two years of being with the company, she has been able to purchase 2 new homes and a luxury vehicle. “I am beginning to experience lifestyle changes and I have to pinch myself some weeks when I see my checks.”

She feels blessed to work with industry leaders like Barry Donalson and C. Anthony Harris and privileged to work with an awesome team that has product in over 13 countries and business partners in over 18 states. “I personally want to congratulate my newest SVPs, Gerry & Emma Osong, Sunny & King Pinyin, and Kate Jabea Ngwa and all the NDs, EDs and ETs that are emerging in Team Elite. I love you all and thank you from the bottom of my heart for being my business partners.”

According to Lisa and her team, “Team Work Truly Makes the Dream Work” and they believe if they “help enough people achieve their goals; we will all achieve all of our goals. Truly our attitude in life determines our altitude in life.” She encourages all the 5LINX® representatives who are working harder than ever to know “whatever you do, don’t give up because the victory of success is so worth it. If you just stay the course your hard work, commitment and focus will pay off.”

“Blessings come into your life when you least expect them. You never know the form they will come in, but when they come you must be prepared to receive them. God makes no mistakes and everything is divinely ordered. I give all Glory to God for all He has blessed me with and I pray that many good things will be done in our communities and churches as a result of the success happening with the 5LINX® business.”

Lisa also wants to thank her two “Whys” — Big Darren and Little Darren (DJ). “Darren, thank you for being my Rock and helping me build our empire. Without your support I could not be where I am today and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you very much and DJ thank you for giving mommy a new found “why.” You have given my life new meaning and you are my first and last thought every day. Words can’t express my love for you and all I do is for YOU!”

Lastly, she is grateful to the company co-founders for putting together this wonderful opportunity that is changing the lives of thousands.

Barry Donalson

Platinum Senior Vice President

Top income earner and producer, Barry Donalson, has been in the Network Marketing Industry for over 14 years. Mr. Donalson has built and managed a personal sales organization of over 150,000 representatives reaching from California to New York; the mountains of Portland, Oregon to the beaches of Virginia; as well as Canada and Puerto Rico. Mr. Donalson produced millions of dollars in sales for his affiliated companies. In addition to having built one of the largest organizations in the companies he has worked with, Barry also has been featured in issues of Upline Magazine, Network Marketing Lifestyles, Money Makers Monthly, Work at Home Solutions, and several business related periodicals regarding his success in this industry.

When asked why did you join 5LINX®? Barry responded, “I researched several companies before selecting 5LINX®. I was looking for a company that was customer driven and 5LINX® is just that. It shows in their compensation plan. They have so many ways for the representative to make money and you don’t need years of experience in the industry. Everyone, from the dynamic business builder, to the emerging leader, and even the person who just wants to gather a few customers can make a great income here. There’s no smoke and mirrors, no lotions and potions, no monthly quotas, or fake revenue sharing programs here. What you see is what you get, and I like that. The wireless industry is projected to reach $1 trillion dollars in the next several years, and we want to be a part of that. This is the last run for me as a representative and it’s going to be a great ride!”

C. Anthony Harris

Platinum Senior Vice President

Over the last seven years top income earner and visionary, Mr. Harris has become a champion in the industry of Network Distribution. Being affiliated with only two Network Marketing companies, he successfully created a company within a company. Mr. Harris created a movement of successful positive leaders in an environment where an ordinary person could get extraordinary results by only teaching them to work together in harmony towards achieving their desired goals. Mr. Harris began his network marketing journey in 1996, and within 100 days he was able to fire his boss and started doing the business on a big time basis. He developed a powerful organization that grew to over 20,000 representatives in the US and abroad. He also achieved top positions and recognition in the companies with which he was affiliated and was able to retire at age 38.

When asked why did you join 5LINX®? Carl responded, “I have never seen such a robust compensation plan than what 5LINX® has to offer. Their systems and back office support are the best I have ever seen. Any representative with a desire to make it in this industry can do it here. 5LINX® is the only networking company with licenses to market all five major wireless carriers and they offer local services in almost every state. With the advent of new local and wireless technology, you can’t go wrong by joining 5LINX®. These are products that people are going to use, no matter what. People have to have effective ways of communicating, and they provide it here at 5LINX®. I am glad I am here.”

Andre and Patty Maronian

Platinum Senior Vice Presidents

The co-founders of 5LINX® would like to congratulate Andre and Patty Maronian on becoming the fourth Platinum SVPs in the company’s history! This promotion is extra special because of the long-term relationship Andre has had with two of the 5LINX® co-founders: Jeb Tyler and Jason Guck.

In fact, Jeb and Andre went to the same college and actually built a successful network marketing business together prior to 5LINX®. It was a bittersweet time for these two best friends when they parted ways several years ago. Jason, Jeb and Andre knew that one day they would be working together again and six years later they were. Through a series of events and circumstances, Andre made the decision to begin a 5LINX® business about one year ago. As the long-time friends were reunited in business and purpose, things have really exploded for 5LINX® and the VIP Rebellion team!

Tishina Pettiford

Platinum Senior Vice President

“You can make excuses or you can make money but you can’t do both” was a quote that I lived by when starting 5LINX. I knew that in order for me to achieve my goals in life I would have to make some changes. Changes that would make me into a better person and then I could live each day by taking one step towards freedom. I never knew that following the so called American Dream of completing college, getting a good job and owning a home would make me feel like a caged animal. As if someone was giving me just enough to survive.

Stan and Chereace Richards

Platinum Senior Vice Presidents

Stan and Chereace began their 5LINX® journey on May 14, 2006. Neither had any prior experience in network marketing prior to their 5LINX® business. They were promoted to the position of Senior Vice President in September at the 5LINX® National Event in Philadelphia.

Before 5LINX, Stan worked with the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (as a bus operator and street supervisor). In addition to working for the WMATA, he has owned a successful entertainment company since 1992.

Donna Woolard

Platinum Senior Vice President

Donna Woolard started her 5LINX® business on January 8, 2007, after being with another company for more than eleven years. “We loved the industry and had become one of the top producers for several years,” says Donna. “Even though we achieved many awards and set many records, the best part of our journey was helping thousands of others succeed!”

In December of 2006 a close friend and business associate brought her the 5LINX® opportunity. “At first, I was hesitant because I was loyal and committed to our previous company. However, I was reminded that I had been praying for some time that something would come into our lives and make a difference.” Donna continues, “I had to take the emotion out of the picture and look at the business side. It was then that I met with the owners and saw the most lucrative marketing plan we had ever seen!” Along with the marketing plan, I was impressed with the product offerings and worldwide opportunity 5LINX® presented. “They were truly putting together a company that would set industry records for years to come!” exclaimed Donna.

Patrick Adu

Senior Vice President

Another Senior Vice President out of the Maryland/Virginia area, Patrick has been with 5LINX® for just one year. Prior to 5LINX® he owned and operated a mortgage company. “5LINX® is my only experience in the network marketing industry,” said Adu. “Easily my greatest personal accomplishment in 5LINX® is reaching the position of SVP. There’s nothing like it.”

While moving up in the 5LINX® organization, Patrick’s greatest obstacle to success was wanting more for members of his team than they wanted for themselves. He is inspired to succeed by his desire to continue to preach the word of God. “I advise all 5LINX® representatives to use the opportunity as a vehicle to achieve the true meaning of life the way God intended.”

A scripture in the Bible that helped him in his search for true happiness is Matthew 6:33. “It’s his hope that it serves as a road map to finding your own spiritual paradise.”

Rosa Battle

Senior Vice President

Although Rosa earned a six-figure income in corporate America she didn’t have the true currency of life—her time!

While still in her 30s, she was earning a million dollar income after being in this industry for just five years. “This allowed me to retire from my so-called ‘good job’ and finally gain my time. Now I’m my boss and I determine my worth. I now can play as hard as I work,” says Rosa.

“I have been on board with 5LINX® for six months now and hit the position of Senior Vice President in less than four months,” adds Rosa. 5LINX® provides her family with a recession-proof business that creates true residual income.

“I always refer to the 5LINX® opportunity of getting in on a wealth trend as a freight train going due east.

If you get in front of a freight train going due east, where are you going to go? That’s right, due east!” says Rosa. She reminds everyone that there is plenty of room on the 5LINX® Train! “We have a proven success formula and are looking for people that aren’t afraid of getting on the right track,” exclaims Rosa.

Dr. Jasper Brewster

Senior Vice President

Coming from Tennessee and with 5LINX® for less than three years, Dr. Jasper Brewster made a big step from his prior jobs to network marketing. Being a dental missionary, a clothing designer and a real estate investor gave him the people skills and connections needed to quickly expand his business. “5LINX® is like no other company I have ever been involved with,” said Jasper. “The marketing plan, bonuses and promotion opportunities are amazing and the coding of residual customers is the most impressive attribute of the plan.”

Just five months after joining 5LINX, Jasper ran into his largest obstacle in growing his business — being diagnosed with prostate cancer. But not even cancer or when “his team joined the witness protection program” made him quit ... he just pushed through using the mantra “Never give in and never give out.”

His friends of 12 years and mentors are Steve and Pasha Carter and they have a saying — ride or die for life. “I live by it every day,” said Jasper.

Lauren Michelle Brown

Senior Vice President

Lauren has been with 5LINX® for one year. Before that she was an Account Executive with the world’s largest pharmaceutical company working in Southern California and Las Vegas. She is the youngest woman ever inducted into their Hall of Fame and remains bronzed on their corporate wall in NYC.

Lauren says it wasn’t her Masters Degree in Business or her corporate experience that helped her reach her goal of ND within four months. It was the support of those more successful than her. Namely, Mike and Sheryl Kelly, Shawn Bacon and Tony Farmer. And now she is an SVP after only 2 Nationals and an insightful Puerto Rico pre-launch. But she says the best is yet to come.

Lauren says what she finds the most personally rewarding is that she was able to balance growing in 5LINX® while being a stay home mom. She had to overcome significant health issues and the day-to-day challenges of raising a teenager. It was her daughter who pleaded with her to stay home.

Lauren quotes Whitney Houston's Greatest Love of All, "Everybody's searching for a hero, people need someone to look up to ... if I fail, if I succeed, at least I live as I believe ... I found the greatest love of all inside of me." Lauren says if we believe our children are our future then why aren’t more of us spending time walking them through the valley's they face? 5LINX® made that possible for Lauren and her daughter.

Ian and Stella Chebe

Senior Vice Presidents

“You don’t have to be good to start. You have to start to be good.”

Receiving a pink slip from a job my entire family relied on for a living was a wake up call for my wife and me. The coming of 5LINX® to our lives in November 2005 was so timely. 5LINX® is truly a window of opportunity that allows you to see your success even before you achieve it. With a product line that is in HIGH DEMAND the 5LINX® business is easy to build. You actually will be doing yourself a disservice if you take a look at this opportunity and decide not to take advantage of it.

Julio and Marlen Daniel

Senior Vice PresidentS

Julio and Marlen Daniel have been with 5LINX® for 17 months. They also currently own and operate travel agencies, real estate sales and development businesses, a jewelry store with pawn shop, and they breed quarter horses.

Their greatest personal accomplishment as 5LINX® representatives is pioneering the Hispanic Community in their native language of Español. With no prior experience in network marketing they built, trained and supported their own team while simultaneously helping the corporation translate materials into Spanish.

Roland Davis

Senior Vice President

When promoted to SVP, Roland Davis had been with 5LINX® 11 months. Prior to 5LINX® he was a successful Real estate investor. With the real estate market downturn he was looking for an opportunity. Never did he consider that that opportunity would be in Network Marketing. At the time he did not believe in the industry, but he found himself without the quality of life and the lifestyle to which he was accustomed.

As he says “breakdowns create breakthroughs.” His breakthrough came when he began believing in what he was doing. That’s when he began really seeing the 5LINX® opportunity. His biggest obstacle was managing his financial crisis while he was building his 5LINX® business. When asked if ever considered quitting he said “quitting was never an option.” So he continued to focus on the thrill of the victory. In 5LINX® he saw financial freedom and the time to enjoy it. His words of encourage are to “practice persistent patience, success in inevitable if you just stay the course.”

Sir Antoine Delerme

Senior Vice President

Coming from New York State, 5LINX® is Antoine’s first and only experience with the network industry. While there were many obstacles he needed to overcome in his rise to Senior Vice President, including the recession, negative minded people and the people who laughed at him behind his back, he never considered quitting.

“I was excited that I completed my goal to become a SVP without being distracted,” said Delerme. “I was inspired by a conversation I had with Tim Richards who encouragedme to be consistent. And I want to pass that on to all 5LINX® representatives as well.”

Mentors of his include SVP Tupac Derenoncourt and PSVPs Lisa Nicole Cloud and Barry Donaldson.

Tupac Derenoncourt

Senior Vice President

Tupac Derenoncourt began his 5LINX® career on September 28, 2007. New to the business model, he didn’t even know what Network Marketing was before joining 5LINX®.

Tupac was impressed by what Stan Richards, his longtime peer in the Entertainment Industry, was doing with 5LINX®. “When I saw Stan and Chereace get promoted after a just 14 months in the business, I decided to roll up my sleeves and get to work,” says Tupac. He decided to take advantage of the 5LINX® Opportunity after Stan offered him the opportunity following a business meeting.

It only took Tupac ten months to rise to the top of the company and achieve the position of Senior Vice President. He was promoted at the 5LINX® National Event in Kansas City. The story gets even better because Tupac also saw the first of his group’s SVPs, Marty and Isra Wynn, get promoted as well.

“My advice to everyone is to get started now in 5LINX® and never quit because we owe it our families!” recommends Tupac.

Anthony Deveaux

Senior Vice President

Anthony Deveaux and his family (including three sisters and two brothers) have lived their lives in the United States, but their roots run beyond these shores. “Most of my family is French and Bahamian,” adds Anthony. “My inspiration is to secure my family’s name in history. My mentor told me to not only rise above mediocrity but to soar above it!” The message Anthony uses as a guideline in life is to “go hard at everything you desire in order to achieve in this life.”

Anthony has been with 5LINX® for the past 16 months. “I have been in network marketing off-and-on for 15 years (since I was 16),” says Anthony. “5LINX® is different because for the first time I have found a company that puts representatives first!” The leadership of 5LINX® has experience working in the field and that is what enables them to relate effectively to the representatives.

Gidget and Lawrence Eaton

Senior Vice Presidents

Before 5LINX®, we tried numerous business ventures in an effort to obtain financial freedom, all to no avail. 5LINX® has given us further confirmation of financial freedom and helped us realize our path of meeting this objective. We know it’s a huge step towards the plan God has for our lives.

We have been with 5LINX® since August 2007. We both work full-time jobs, are real estate investors and own another business. With two small children (11-year-old daughter Lauryn and 7-year-old son Bryce) and Lawrence in Graduate School, our greatest challenge has been wanting more for others than they want for themselves.

We do not believe in making excuses. We believe in taking action. Our greatest inspiration is to honor God in all we do!

Dwayne Eddings

Senior Vice President

Dwayne D. Eddings has been with 5LINX® for 17 months. Before joining us he was a self-employed real estate developer & mortgage banker for 27 years.

His says his greatest personal accomplishment as a 5LINX® representative is learning to accept the system and become coachable to his mentor PSVP Lisa Nicole Cloud. This has allowed him to help 20 of the 40 individuals whom he had to lay off in his development firm. Through their success as a team he became the first SVP in the State of NJ. But he says there is no greater accomplishment than seeing them achieve success and realize their dreams through 5LINX.

Just look at his family. His eldest daughter Keiyana is a 3rd yr law student at Fordham University, his youngest daughter Kyra is a Sophomore at Hampton University and his second ND at 19, his eldest son Michael is a sophomore at Raritan College, and his youngest twin boys David & Daniel are in middle school and future PSVPs. Last but not least, he says his beautiful Super Woman wife Carlene Charlemagne-Eddings completed her MBA while maintaining the household, and became the first female ND in NJ, promoting two more NDs.

His children are his inspiration to succeed along with his heartfelt dedication to his father’s dying words to always be his own business man and to work harder than anyone else to set a standard for his family.

Aurelio Evans

Senior Vice President

Aurelio has been with 5LINX® for 2 1/2 years.  Before 5LINX® he was a truck driver for Waste Management, Inc. He also used to be a rep for ACN but feels 5LINX® has a better compensation plan, better bonus pools and feels we truly put representatives first—in actions, not just words.

His greatest personal accomplishment as a 5LINX® representative is enhancing his family's future forever and positively impacting the lives of individuals in and out of the 5LINX® organization. To get there he’s had to develop leadership skills and learn to work with many different personality types and weather the storm of naysayers and negative thinkers. But the greatest challenge he says was learning to master the 6 inches between his own ears.

Aurelios says he is truly blessed with his wife Nakia and four daughters including his newborn Savannah. He says his family, including his parents and in-laws, are his biggest supporters and encouraged him to reach SVP. God willing he hopes to pay them all back with an unbelievable lifestyle while instilling in his children the values of hard work and a can do/no quit attitude. His mentors are SVP Jamie Forte and the Leaders of The Platinum Network PSVP Andre Maronian  and PSVP Steve and Pasha Carter. But his father, Reverend Samuel Evans is his daily mentor and helps him keep his eyes focused on what's important in life and in business.

From day one Aurelio says he knew he was a future PSVP. He’s just waiting for the paperwork to catch up to his vision.

William Faucette Jr.

Senior Vice President

“In the spring of 2001, after seven years of success in direct marketing, I began to research starting my own network marketing company. A short time later, I was referred to 5LINX® by the district manager of Sprint PCS, who believed that the co-founders and I shared a similar vision.”

“Despite my skepticism, I agreed to meet with the Company's Chief operating officer, and was amazed at what 5LINX® had to offer. After a week of research, I decided to partner with 5LINX® in June of 2001, leaving behind a business that I'd built in 40 states and Canada. This is the best decision I've ever made! In six months, I equaled an income that took me seven years to build with my previous company. In January of 2002, I left a six figure income to be a full-time 5LINX® representative, and my goal is to produce 500 millionaires within 5 years!”

Dr. Eric Fogam

Senior Vice President

Dr. Eric Fogam is a full-time physician and still finds time to do 5LINX. He has been with the company since 2006, but it was attending the Atlanta Convention that inspired him to build his business. Prior to that he had not pursued the opportunity and had no previous network marketing experience.

He is originally from Cameroon. He and his wife of 23 years have 3 children all attending college. 5LINX® has changed their lives in that they now have time and money. While his greatest personal accomplishment as a representative is attaining SVP, his dream is to build a modern health care facility in Bali in Cameroon.

His words of encouragement to others, “follow the system and stay coachable.” He credits Sunny and King Pinyin and C. Anthony Harris for aiding in his success.

Jamie and Nicole Forte

Senior Vice Presidents

Although Jamie Forte had been with another network marketing company for seven years prior to coming to 5LINX, since January 2006, when he joined, he has built an entirely new organization from scratch to reach SVP in one year.

A Mechanical Engineer by trade, he believes network marketing has changed his life because he can enjoy the freedom to do what he wants when he wants while controlling his income and future advancement.

Marshall Fortson

Senior Vice President

I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. My father had his own business and instilled in me the goal to never work for anyone other than myself. So, it was during my junior year of college at Tennessee State University (Nashville) that I began selling clothing out of the trunk of my car. This business mushroomed so that two months prior to graduating, my company GrooveWear, had its grand opening. Top professional NFL players, NBA players and entertainers all found their way to GrooveWear to get the latest hip-hop styles they couldn’t get anywhere else. I had graduated from the trunk to a million dollar business. It sounds great, but I was working long hours and had lots of overhead.

Phil Gerdes

Senior Vice President

Phil Gerdes has been with 5LINX® for 20 months, taking 18 to get to SVP. Prior to 5LINX® Phil owned a mortgage company. At 5LINX®, his greatest personal accomplishment is reaching the position of SVP all the while knowing that his organization is growing and more and more lives are being changed. The many obstacles he has overcome have included the opening of a new Market, hearing the many “Nos” and transitioning from a traditional business model to network marketing.

Phil met his wife at the age of 14, she 13. They dated on and off until getting married on Feb 28th 2006. They have one son, born Sept. 17, 2008. As a family, he believes in support, putting others first and being a family TEAM! His inspiration to succeed is always being able to help others achieve their hopes and dreams while providing for his family a life without want.

When asked if he ever wanted to quit or give up on 5LINX®, his answer was that he never really considered that an option. He could always see the light at the end of the tunnel. He has definitely had hard times and days where he questioned the opportunity, but he always pulled through with the help of several great mentors from inside and outside of 5LINX® and a loving, supportive wife.

Phil’s words of encouragement for all 5LINX® representatives are to Never Quit! Always remember that the only thing between you and your dreams is time. In addition, make a decision to be successful and know NOTHING is going to stop you! As Phil always says “the first step to achieving is believing, the first step to believing is preaching, so say it, believe it and achieve it!”

Carl Harper

Senior Vice President

Carl Harper has been with 5LINX® for 12 months. He hit ET & ED in 27 days, ND within 4 months and SVP in 8 months. Prior to 5LINX® Carl worked for the Central Intelligence Agency, received his Undergrad and Masters Degrees from the University of Maryland, owned a successful promotional marketing company and in 2000 made real estate a very successful career. Carl is still active in real estate and is co-owner of a family business called the Fun Depot.

His greatest personal accomplishment as a 5LINX® Representative is reaching National Director in 4 months and consistently being a member of the ND-All Star Team. His greatest inspiration to succeed is to be financially independent and to help others accomplish the same.

Quitting was never an option for Carl because once he has made a commitment to do something, he is laser focused on accomplishing that goal until it is done! Besides if he quit, he’d never hear the end of it from close friend, mentor and true inspiration PSVP Stan Richards because “Carl listen to me, we don’t quit!”

Carl is a very unselfish, caring and humble person and feels truly blessed. His 76 year old parents are his inspiration as they treat everyone equally and with the utmost respect! His words of encouragement are to look at his parents, the “Oldest National Directors” in 5LINX® and stay focused on getting to SVP!  It doesn’t matter if it takes 1 year, 3 years or 5 years…as long as you get there is all that matters.”

Mondez Hollomon

Senior Vice President

Mondez has been with 5LINX® for 24 months. He is also a manager in Real Estate Advisory Services with a consulting firm.

He says he admires 5LINX®’s commitment to its representatives in the field. It’s provides a comfort level and light that transfers to his entire team. He says his friend and brothers Lee Garret and SVP Steve Carter inspired him to get started and the support and integrity of both of them plus Andre Maronian has allowed him to focus on the task of building a business within the company.

Mondez says his greatest personal accomplishment is proving that SVP can be achieved part-time.  That and paying off his mother’s credit card debt and placing her in a position to fully retire of course.

After undergraduate school, Mondez started a marketing and promotional company. While it was one of the most exciting times of his life, he became the victim of random gun violence while promoting an event.  His injuries made it extremely difficult to stay actively involved in the daily operations of his business and led to the realization that spiritual, mental, and physical change was necessary.  He re-dedicated his life to Christ, began following a passion to serve others, went back to school to obtain his MBA in Finance and developed a successful career in commercial real estate—all while striving to live everyday as if it were his last and take nothing for granted. He says 5LINX® became just another example of the favor GOD places in us all.

Darryl Huckaby

Senior Vice President

Darryl E. Huckaby joined 5LINX® 20 months ago. After nine years as VP of Programming/Operations for Radio One Inc. Darryl is currently Director of Urban Promotions with Warner Bros./Asylum Records.

He is especially proud to have been an ND All Star 10 of 12 months and for helping to open markets like New York City, Philadelphia, Richmond & Hampton. Along the way he says he’s had to learn to overcome negative comments and lack of support from family & friends.

Darryl was born and raised in Connecticut in a middle class family. His parents were entrepreneurs. With just high school educations, they opened the first African American-owned pharmacy and beauty and barber supply stores in CT. Their hard work made it possible for Darryl and his sister to attend college. He calls them his greatest inspiration. At 5LINX® his inspiration and mentors are his entire up line: Tupac Derenoncourt, Stan & Chereace Richards, Tishina Pettiford, Lisa Nicole Cloud, Barry Donalson and C. Anthony Harris.

Darryl says his driving force is to not fail and prove the non-believers wrong. His words of encouragement to others are, “Stay laser focused, consistent & persistent. The road to success is never easy. If you believe you can achieve. Never ever quit.

Barry Johnson

Senior Vice President

Prior to getting involved in 5LINX®, Barry M. Johnson served as the managing partner of a major Washington, DC/Maryland/Virginia corporate law firm.

Barry’s legal practice focuses on a broad array of specialized disciplines that include, venture capital, sports & entertainment, white collar crime and corporate law.

Barry joined 5LINX® with no direct sales industry experience. After being introduced to 5LINX® and attending a formal presentation, Barry then visited the 5LINX® corporate office in Rochester, NY with a team of people from the DC/Maryland area and met the founders personally. He returned to Washington, and after only six months in the business was able to hit the position of Senior Vice President.

“My greatest obstacle in 5LINX® has been that I want success more for others than they want it for themselves. 5LINX® tested me on so many different levels and, at times, it has really been an emotional roller coaster. 5LINX® tests the very essence of what people are made of and how much they are willing to do to succeed. It is so gratifying to see the influence that God has allowed me to have on so many peoples’ lives and financial futures through this opportunity. When its all said and done, God gets all the glory.

“I truly believe that anyone can do this business. When my business partners begin to tell me how frustrated they are, I tell them congratulations, that means you are on your way to SVP. You are not going to walk the stage and share in this blessing unless you are willing to make some sacrifices and endure some frustration. But you can not fail, and will not fail, unless you quit.

“I was averse to the direct sales industry initially. I had so many preconceived notions and misinformation. This industry is powerful and my only regret is that I was not introduced to it straight out of high school. The 5LINX® opportunity is unlike any business opportunity I have been involved. I’ve done venture capital deals, IPOs, mergers and acquisitions for Fortune 500 companies and even start-ups. No business opportunity has ever come close to doing what this opportunity has done for me and my family’s future. I can now ensure and guarantee a legacy for my son. I thank my God every day for the chance to be a part of this major telecommunications wealth trend and for the chance to create a legacy.”

Dwayne Johnson

Senior Vice President

Dwayne Johnson became the first 5LINX® SVP from the state of Florida. “I entered the industry of network marketing at the tender age of 19.”

Growing up in Freeport, Grand Bahamas where he watched his mother build a traditional business from scratch into a successful company, Dwayne learned early on that he didn’t want to be owned by a business. “I went off to study engineering at Devry University and after I got back into the work place I quickly realized that a J-O-B wasn’t made for me either.”

Tiana Johnson

Senior Vice President

Tiana Johnson has been with 5LINX® for 3 years. Prior to 5LINX® she was successful in real estate. She was also a full-time math teacher for the Detroit Pubic School Alternative Ed and a Math professor at two colleges.

She tried network marketing before but couldn’t successfully sell their products. What makes 5LINX® different is she did all her work or "SaleM" her first 30 days. She says she also has excellent mentors in the Millionaires Club to ensure that her team is successful.

Her greatest accomplishment in 5LINX® is empowering the people in Detroit, MI with hope for change and financial freedom. She vowed to be Michigan's 1st SVP and can be very proud she is. She has had two teams quit on her in the past two years but she stayed persistent and focused through devastating obstacles. The ceiling of her home caved in on Christmas Eve. Then four months later, the first 5LINX® Office in Metro Detroit caught on fire. Then two weeks before completing her SVP run her computer crashed. Through it all her spirits stayed high and her business partners, family, and love ones made sure she had all the tools needed to complete this mission.

Tiana’s inspiration to succeed is to help her parents retire so they can enjoy their lives to another level. She wants all her family to live a life with no limitations. She also wants to produce 10 SVP from Detroit Market.

John and Patrice Jones

Senior Vice Presidents

The last time John and Patrice Jones made a career move, 12 years ago, lightning struck. They were credited with opening the Northeast for Excel Communications and went on to attain the highest level of success as top earners and leaders. They won every award, culminating with John's selection by his peers as winner of the company’s most prestigious honor. That was as Trainer of the Year, earned by the most impacting leader to the entire field, regardless of downline affiliation.

Frank and Nicole Kimbrough

Senior Vice Presidents

Frank and Nicole set a new company record by hitting SVP in only 132 days!

With millions in real estate acquisitions under their belts, rookie network marketers Frank and Nicole thought their financial future was secure until their industry took a dive. Their dreams went down with the stock market.

Frank saw the 5LINX® opportunity a year prior, but was unable to persuade an overwhelmed Nicole to do anything with it. “I couldn’t see making this move without the support of my wife,” acknowledges Frank. “I was too busy making a living to make a life!” admits Nicole.

Realizing the stability of the telecommunications industry and 5LINX®’s recession-proof products, together they jumped in. A primary motivation was their longing to spend more time with their six wonderful children—Alexus, TJ, Paige, Summer, Cyrus and Frank IV. Nicole says, “Being able to see them off to school and greet them when they return is priceless.”

A favorite Scripture of Frank and Nicole is Hebrews 12:1, which says, “Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us!”

Rick Knight

Senior Vice President

The Genesis Group is a powerful sales force based in Birmingham, AL that spans all across the country through its many branches. Rick Knight, Patrick Noles, along with former NFL Quarterback Jay Barker, are co-founders of the company. The Genesis Group was formed to help people change their lives, not only in business, but in their spiritual walk as well. Rick played Collegiate Athletics, and believes that his background on the court plays an integral role in their success in the business world and his competitive drive to be the best in whatever he sets his mind to.

Dr. Ross Lambert

Senior Vice President

Dr. Ross Lambert spent 25 years as a full time practicing periodontist in the Philadelphia suburbs. In 1995 he was approached by a friend to look at Network Marketing. He spent 11 years with another company where he reached the highest earned position and won many awards. He found that he could earn more money on a part time basis from NM than he could as a full time doctor! “I love the people, the winning atmosphere, and the team spirit. I realized that I could only get to where I wanted to go, if I helped others get to where they wanted to go.”

“I received a call from my good friends Donna and Jamie Woolard in December, 2006. I knew about 5LINX® and I had known two of the co-founders for more than 8 years. Although skeptical, I jumped on a plane and came to Rochester to meet with them. I was blown away by their marketing plan, the innovative products, and their honesty and integrity! I had to do it!”

Ross started his 5LINX® business on January 8, 2007 and rose quickly through the ranks to SVP in one year.

Ross has been married to Diane for 35 years. They have three beautiful daughters, Alison, Erica and Jillian.

“I get goose bumps when I see the members of my team walk across that stage to be recognized and promoted, as they create an income level and lifestyle that they once only dreamed about and prayed for.”

Ross’ advice: “WINNERS NEVER QUIT AND QUITTERS NEVER WIN—JUST DO IT!”

Lee and Rhonda Lemons

Senior Vice Presidents

“As a Systems Engineer for IBM, I realized at the age of 40 that I was not living the life that I wanted for my family. Don’t get me wrong, I had a ‘good life.’ But, I knew I was never going to be paid a six-figure income and I was going to continue to be required to give all of my time to someone else! I always joke that I had come to learn that IBM stood for ‘I’ve Been Misled.’ I wanted more out of life and I had been looking for my way out. I realized that working for Corporate America did not allow us these opportunities.

“Once my wife and I looked at the Excel marketing plan, we decided that this indeed was the ticket to financial freedom and the ability to live how we choose. Being an independent representative in the telecommunications industry is awesome, because of its constant growth and development. I started with Excel at the beginning of its wave and sailed the waters like a big whale, breaking all records and obtaining all titles to become the number 7 all-time money earner in all of Excel. Now I have a second chance to sail the waters of 5LINX® at the beginning of its big wave, and I’m going for the Big Kahuna.

“5LINX®’ marketing plan is bigger and better than any other marketing plan today, and their products and services are superior and above the rest. There is absolutely no stopping me now with the help of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! The best advice I can give is ... ‘Don’t let a good life get in the way of what could be a great life!’ ”

Patrick and Lois London

Senior Vice PresidentS

We are grateful to have been introduced to 5LINX® which became the vehicle for us to secure a successful network marketing lifestyle.

After earning a degree, I joined the family restaurant business. I found out quickly that I was following in my father’s footsteps of sacrificing family time to be successful.

I was looking for other ways to make an above average income, but I also needed an avenue to provide me with the flexibility of owning my own time. I got a taste of that flexibility when our dependant mother came to live with us after she suffered from a stroke.

I was able to step away from the family business at that time and between my wife Lois, daughters Patti, Vetta, Donna and me, we were able to take care of mom from our home. After tasting real “free time” it’s hard to go back!

We feel so blessed to have hit the Senior Vice President position with 5LINX®. Now, our mission and goal is to help as many people as we can get to the top.

Michael McBay

Senior Vice President

With 5LINX® for two-and-a-half years, Michael was an attorney before retiring in 2008 to work with 5LINX® full-time. “I was totally negative about network marketing,” said McBay. “Little did I know this would be the industry that changed my life. Reaching Senior Vice President is one of my greatest personal accomplishments.”

There were certainly obstacles in Michael’s rise to SVP, such as not being supported by people he expected support from. But  to Michael, obstacles and adversity are nothing but a test of faith that you push through. A man of passion and humbleness, Michael loves to help people and has goals and aspirations to impact many lives across the world. “I am inspired to succeed by my desire to secure a legacy for my two girls — Adrianna and Alana,” continued Michael. “I encourage all 5LINX® representatives to stay positive and do not get caught up in the negative pool. Stay laser focused through all adversity and negativity. And remember, in order to change your situation you must first change you way of thinking.”

Clarisa and Peter Minang

Senior Vice Presidents

“We could not stop dreaming because we were ready for a change.”

“The routine began early at 5:45 a.m. when we would wake up, get ready for work and get the kids ready and off to school. Then came the dreadful weeks when I had to work the evening shift (2 p.m. – 10 p.m.).”

“My kids, my family, why can’t I be with them now, I wondered. Then after tucking the kids into bed at night we would sit on the couch and continue to dream of the things we want to do in life. Our ‘WHY,’ to be home when the kids come home, participate in all their sports activities and reach out to those less fortunate than us. These were dreams we badly wanted to make a reality but knew not how. One thing however, was for sure, we could not stop dreaming because we were ready for a change, had a plan, believed in ourselves and were just looking for that vehicle, that moment to act and make things happen.”

Jovens Moncouer

Senior Vice President

Jovens Moncoeur has been with 5LINX® for two years and two months. Prior to 5LINX® he was a real estate and mortgage broker.

His greatest personal accomplishment as a 5LINX® representative is conquering his fears to become successful and reach for levels that he never been at before. The obstacles he has had to overcome are facing people laughing and making fun of his business and not having enough money to get to trainings and business meetings. When asked about his family he says that they are a tight unit that supports each other no matter what!

His greatest inspiration to succeed is his wife Viayola, daughter, mother, father and sisters because those are the people who have taken care of him so it is only right to take care of them and to make sure that their futures are secured financially. When asked if he ever considered quitting he says “I never wanted to quit and give up. I knew it would not be easy and all I said is if others can do it so can I. I just got to work.” His words of encouragement are to “know where you want to go in life. If you can think it, then you can do it!! The most important thing is that you have to do it. You must work on it every day and never ever quit no matter what.”

His mentors are many and include Tupac Derenoncourt, Lisa Nicole Cloud, Barry Donaldson, C. Anthony Harris, Stan Richards, Chereace Richards, Sunny Pinyin, Jim Rohn and Les Brown to name a few.

Eric and Ericka Norwood

Senior Vice Presidents

Eric and Ericka Norwood have been with 5LINX® for 10.5 months. Before this Eric was a Financial Auditor for the Federal Government and Real Estate Investor and Ericka was a loan officer for several years.

Eric says they chose 5LINX® because the compensation plan far exceeds any other presented to them. And he says he’s witnessed the motto that, "Representatives come first” personally—when the co-founders visited Chicago several times and sit with him and other leaders to talk about expanding in their marketplace.

Eric and Ericka are proud of their accomplishments and how they’ve helped others. To get there they had to overcome several fears. One was dealing with rejection from friends and loved ones. The second was presenting the opportunity to a room full of people. They overcame them and reached the goal of SVP.

Eric says his inspiration to succeed is his son and wife. For several generations his family had a curse when it came to creating wealth and sustaining it. Eric made the decision to break the curse and be the one to create wealth and sustain it for generations to come.

Eric and Ericka decided when they got involved with 5LINX® that they would be students of the industry. They attended all local, regional, boot camps and national events. Their mentors are the Co-Founders, other SVPs and PSVPs from WGI and VIP/Rebellion, and last but not least the Millionaires Club headed by William Faucette.

Albert and Lima Nsah

Senior Vice Presidents

Whatever the mind conceives, it can achieve. Believe in yourself and follow the system.

Albert worked a JOB in corporate America for 14 years. We fell in the same category as most Americans, believing that working for someone else was the only way out.

“When I came to this country six years ago from Cameroon, West Africa, and saw my husband work an average of 60 hours a week, I knew that something had to change. I just did not know what or how. I was at home raising our kids by myself most of the time.” Lema says.

John and Stacey Odenat

Senior Vice Presidents

John and Stacey Odenat have been with 5LINX® for 34 months. Before joining us, John served in the United States Marine Corp from 1989 to 1995, in the Gulf War, Desert Shield, Desert Storm and at Bethesda Naval Hospital as a Marine Liaison.

John was once a part-time salesperson for Circuit City. It’s where he first developed his salesman skills and earned numerous awards and monthly bonuses for customer acquisition. He began to specialize in cell phones. He then left Circuit City and went to Nationwide Cellular where he was recognized many times for his achievements, including selling more individually than the rest of the store combined, but was dismayed when the owner refused to meet with him personally. He left and started his own AT&T franchise. He built his store from zero to more than 40,000 customers within 4 years and then was introduced to 5LINX® by his next door neighbor, Troy Madison. After just 3 months in 5LINX, the income from 5LINX® matched the store’s income. By month 5, John shut down the AT&T franchise to begin a full-time career in 5LINX. He’s been home for the past 2 years.

John’s mentor is Tishina Pettiford. And his mother and his family are his inspiration. He comes from a broken home and as a child never understood why his father left when all the other kids had two parents. While he vowed never to do that to his family, before 5LINX® he feels he was abandoning his kids by trading dollars for time with his family. He realizes all those years he’d missed while his kids were growing up. Now he’s able to be with them 24/7. Coaching softball for his girls and baseball for his son. He thanks God on a daily basis for bringing his wife and himself to 5LINX.

Tim Orbaker

Senior Vice President

“I knew my life was on the road to retirement at 65. My friends called it freedom 65. Fortunately I found 5LINX® and now freedom 65 has become freedom 45! After being in corporate America for 20 plus years, I knew they would continue to control my future both time and financially and therefore something had to change. I opened our minds to a smarter and better way to make money. Now I wake to my schedule. I place family above all else. 5LINX® allows me to mix family, business, relaxation and life in harmony. I AM IN CONTROL OF MY DESTINY! Once you see what I have seen and experienced you will look forward to each day as your dreams unfold in front of your eyes. Join me!”

Curtis Derek Owens

Senior Vice President

Curtis Derek Owens joined 5LINX® 14 months ago. He also owns the Owens Group of Companies in Development/Gaming, Energy, Hospitality/Food Service, and Sports and Entertainment. He’s also minority owner of Washington Nationals Baseball Team.

Curtis says his greatest personal accomplishment as a 5LINX® representative is leveling the playing field and helping others become financially secure … even during this crazy economic recession.

Curtis has a very close family and there is strong family involvement in his businesses. They are in fact the reason he loves 5LINX. Because it gives him the opportunity to position himself at home spending time with his family while he collects residual income. He says his family is his inspiration to succeed. Especially his son, Tyler Micah Owens.

Once when his mother became very ill, Curtis says he was tempted to quit his work with 5LINX. But when he continued to receive a check every Friday — due to his team's hard work; he understood and respected the power of leverage. This inspired him to come back even stronger.

He calls his mom, dad and step dad his mentors. Through his dad's experience as CEO of the largest minority corporation in the state of Pennsylvania, he learned that sharing is growing. Then his mom and stepdad guided his efforts to become an entrepreneur at a very young age. Now he is proud to add telecommunications to his long list of business offerings.

Courtney Panton

Senior Vice President

Courtney Panton has been with 5LINX® for 2 years and 8 months. Before joining us he was an account manager for Coca Cola and a musician.

He chose to work with 5LINX® because of our superior compensation plan, timing and products. He says his greatest personal accomplishment as a 5LINX® representative is hitting the prestigious position of senior vice president and helping others in his team achieve their goals. It wasn’t easy as he comes from another country and had to build his success from scratch.

Courtney’s two daughters, Mikayla and Maliyah are level 4 and level 6 Illinois state gymnastic champions with very busy academic and gymnastic schedules. His wife is the anchor that holds everything together giving him the ability to go out and spread the 5LINX® story. And he’s been successful. What inspires him is knowing that he can actually own a piece of a multimillion dollar company in the form of stock options and be able to work hard for a few years and enjoy freedom for a lifetime.

He encourages others to grasp the magnitude of the opportunity in front of them and never ever think about quitting. Personally his mentors are Steve and Paha Carter and Jim Rohn.

Earl John Pardo

Senior Vice President

EJ Pardo has been with 5LINX® for 23  months, taking 21 to become SVP. Prior to 5LINX® EJ was a Sushi Chef in South Carolina where a customer noticed his hard work and told him something that has become his philosophy of life. She said “If you work for somebody, you are just earning a living. But if you work for yourself, that’s when you are making a fortune.”

At 5LINX®, his greatest obstacle he has had to overcome is his fear of Public Speaking. Although English is his second language, he has become a comfortable public speaker. But, he still remembers his 1st presentation when he was so nervous that even forgot his own name. Besides overcoming Public Speaking, his greatest accomplishment in 5LINX® is his ability to help many people earn extra money and save money as well.

As the middle child of 5 siblings growing up in a less fortunate environment, EJ learned at an early age that he needed to support himself. His greatest inspirations are his parents who taught him that life is always a choice. That everybody, regardless of their circumstances, can choose a better life and that “Being broke is temporary, but poorness is eternal.”

When asked if he ever thought of quitting 5LINX® he responded Never! His motto is “Quitters never win and Winners never Quit.” EJ’s words of encouragement to all 5LINX® Representatives are “Do not ever allow anybody to steal your DREAMS.”

Coreck and Preshane Payton

Senior Vice Presidents

Coreck & Preshane Payton have been with 5LINX® for 11 months. Coreck has also been the owner of an Auto Glass Company in Manassas, VA for 12 years.

Coreck and Preshane say 5LINX® is great because it offers products and services everyone uses. Everyone they know, and even those they don’t know, are already in the business. They’re just not getting paid for it. To become successful at 5LINX, Coreck says he had to overcome the negativity from friends and family and his fear of public speaking.

They have been married for 10 years and have 3 wonderful children. They relocated to Northern VA 12 years ago. Coreck worked a 9-5 straight out of college and figured out at the age of 22 that it wasn't for him.  He always dreamed of becoming a business owner because his dad was a successful business owner.  But the couple’s greatest inspiration today is their three children. They want to be able to leave a legacy behind. It’s forced them to never quit. Quitting would be like quitting on their family.

To encourage others they say, “Believe in yourself. The doors of financial freedom are open now, just get out of your own ways and walk through them to receive your blessings. And then, be humble. Become a good follower and good leader and be coachable.

Coreck and Preshane say their mentor is “Our awesome and phenomenal Platinum Senior Vice President Mrs. Tishina Pettiford.”

Norbert Simmons

Senior Vice President

Norbert E. Simmons is the founder of Deeper Life Church Ministries, Inc. in Goldsboro, N.C. The church was established in 1984, and since then its membership has grown from nine to well over 3,000 members. The 55,000 square foot facility sits on 15 acres of land and houses D.S. Simmons Academy and Grade School as well as a Bible college. Along with his wife, Gwen, this dynamic duo operates in the “five-fold” ministry, as well as the 5LINX® business opportunity.

Norbert has authored two powerful books entitled A Man’s Integrity is a Woman’s Security, and Trusting GOD When You Don’t Understand “Why?”

Norbert says spreading the “good news” of the 5LINX® business aligns with his mission as a Pastor. The 5LINX® business has changed the financial status of his ministry in a very positive way, and helps his church do greater outreach ministries at home and abroad. Many of his parishioners are also in the business.

Norbert says, “This has proven to be the stream of finances that we’ve been praying for.” Since being in 5LINX®, he has achieved the position of Senior Vice President and has produced numerous National Directors, Executive Directors and Executive Trainers within eight months. “The 5LINX® opportunity was definitely GOD-sent! To GOD be all the glory, and thanks to the co-founders, Craig, Jeb, and Jason,” says Norbert.

Shadiah Soliman

Senior Vice President

I started in the industry 7 ½ years ago, with no experience in business or telecommunications. I worked fullti-me as a 6th grade school teacher and part-time as a waitress on the weekends to pay off my student loans. Working 60 hours a week was not what I expected to do coming out of college with a master’s degree. When taking a look at this industry, it was a no-brainer to position myself to get paid on services that people have to pay anyways! My vision when getting started in the industry was small, I was looking to just supplement my teaching career with an extra $1,000 a month, maybe retire 10 years early and be able to help my family more. I wasn’t looking to become a top leader, and didn’t think I ever could.

Luschen Stewart

Senior Vice President

Luschen Stewart has been with 5LINX® for 16 months. Before this he was the owner of a home improvement contracting business.

Luschen chose 5LINX® because we offer products and services everyone has and needs. After dedicating himself to the system he says his greatest accomplishment is reaching this position of SVP. But that’s just his greatest 5LINX® accomplishment to date of course.

Luschen says his family is his WHY in everything he does. Luke, Matthew Marc, Azeya, Jasmine and Samantha serve as a daily reminder to him of the promise for the future. His siblings, Mom, Dad and extended family remind me that he has to serve as a model for what is possible today. And the love of his life, Stephanie is the glue that keeps that all together.

His words of encouragement to others are, “Never be fearful of your own brilliance. Everyone has the power within them to achieve their dreams. Put into words what you desire, Voice your dreams, let God and the Universe reward you. The HOW is not your domain, just recognize opportunities when presented, then ACT.”

His personal mentor is his grandmother, Lillian Mitchell, because at a very early age she taught him respect, discipline, integrity, honor and independence.

Allan Taunan

Senior Vice President

Allan has been with 5LINX® for 25 months. Before joining us he was a manager at Albertson's Grocery Stores and has been in the retail industry for 6 yrs.

His greatest personal accomplishment as a 5LINX® representative is developing himself personally, helping open the California market, and helping a lot of others became more successful.

The middle child of 7, Alan grew up in the Philippines. He was involved in youth community service and was a youth leader from high school up to college. He also served as a church choir member. His dream came true on June 14, 2000 when he came to the US—first to Chicago, then South Carolina and finally settling in California.

In June 0f 2007, Ejay Pardo introduced him to 5LINX. Alan credits both Ejay and C. Anthony Harris as his mentors but his true inspiration to succeed is his family. Especially his Mom and Dad. His dream is to have them enjoy a better life and live the life they deserve.

Derrick Taylor

Senior Vice President

Hard work has never been a problem for me. I grew up watching my Mom work hard, and all of my life I was looking for something that would work for me. I was taught to discover my area of expertise and I would bloom. My Mom worked evenings, and many times we didn’t see her until the weekends. However, her principals are embedded in me unto this day — “work for yourself instead of working for someone else.” All of my life, I knew that I had only tapped the surface of my true potential. I am self-motivated. I love a challenge, and I enjoy helping others soar beyond their wildest dreams. I was looking for something that would change my life. But the funniest thing is ... I didn’t find it; it found me!

Candice and Vaughn Villafana

Senior Vice Presidents

Vaughn and Candice began their careers in business when things were financially at a standstill. Vaughn was a Research Biologist, and Candice, a Systems Engineer; they also owned a retail store. They endured long hours, high stress, and endless cycles of living paycheck to paycheck. Due to their busy lifestyle, they never had time to pursue their own dreams and wanted better for their children. Although they worked harder each year, their financial struggle persisted. Vaughn and Candice envisioned a life of freedom to enjoy their passion, which is to help others to pursue their dreams.

At this time, they were introduced to the Telecommunications industry and the opportunity to develop monthly residual income. It took courage for them to get started, but within a short time, they were able to build a large organization through an emerging technology that is becoming a household necessity.

Presently, their business is expanding throughout the United States and Internationally. They travel the globe teaching and training business partners to have success; empowering regular people to take control of their lives, and to gain time and resources to fully pursue their God-given purposes.

Vaughn and Candice are committed to the economic empowerment of everyday people. Their message is simple. “WORKING HARDER IS NOT THE ANSWER!”

Ron Williams

Senior Vice President

Ron Williams is a committed family man and a true leader in his community. Ron enjoys helping other people achieve their potential and get more out of life. It was this commitment to his organization that allowed him to achieve Senior Vice President (SVP) in only 10 months time. Achieving SVP allowed Ron to retire his wife Marcia so that she could stay at home with their three children full time. His goal is to have his family financially free and to never worry about money again. He is well on his way to achieving that goal in less than one year with 5LINX®.

Marty and Isra Wynn

Senior Vice Presidents

Marty and Isra reside in Bowie, Maryland and have been married for seven years. They are blessed with four beautiful children: Meya (14), Keenen (11), Nadia (3), and Niyla (18 months).

“We have been entrepreneurs since 1999 and have been blessed to have successful businesses,” says Marty. These ventures include sports and entertainment promotions, real estate management, and construction. “We joined 5LINX® in January of 2008, but didn’t take it seriously until April 2008,” adds Isra.

They went to their first 5LINX® Nationals in May in San Antonio, Texas where they really saw the “big picture.” “We caught the vision immediately and came back home ready to explode!” exclaims Marty.

In just five months they went from ET to SVP and were promoted at the very next National Event in Kansas City, Missouri. “It has truly changed our lives because now we have the power of residual income.”

The Wynns were always looking for a retirement plan that they could put in place for their children’s children and they found it with 5LINX®!
