MY NAME IS DAVID KELJIK. I HAVE FOUNDED OUR ORGANIZATION FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS.
THE FIRST REASON IS TO GIVE BACK IN SOME SMALL WAY TO OUR COMMUNITY.
THE SECOND REASON IS TO MEET AND JOIN TOGETHER OTHER SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEURS WITH SIMILAR GOALS. IN THE 2 YEARS I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS, I HAVE MET HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE FROM OUR AREA AND HAVE FOUND A COMMON GOAL FOR ALL OF US. TO HELP OTHERS AND TO HAVE FUN DOING IT. I HAVE BUILT A BASKETBALL COURT AND CLUB FOR ALL OF US TO GET TOGETHER FROM TIME TO TIME AND ATTEMPT TO BETTER OUR COMMUNITY AND THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE AROUND US. AS I HAVE TOLD EVERYONE I HAVE MET THROUGH THIS GROUP IF ANYONE HAS A WORTHY OR WORTHWHILE CAUSE TO HELP OTHERS MY DOORS ARE OPEN. MYSELF AND KEVIN RUPKEY HAVE WORKED VERY HARD TO MAKE OUR EVENTS SAFE AND FUN FOR ALL OF OUR FRIENDS.

IN 2001 I CO-FOUNDED GIANT LEAP, INC. A GROWING SOFTWARE COMPANY DOING GROUNDBREAKING WORK ON THE POCKET PC PLATFORM. OUR SALES BUDDY SOFTWARE WILL SOON BE A FAMILIAR NAME IN HOME IMPROVEMENT EVERYWHERE.

IN 1997 I BUILT A PET ADOPTION CENTER IN CAPE CORAL. OUR PURPOSE WAS TO PROVIDE A HIGH PROFILE LOCATION FOR PEOPLE TO ADOPT HOMELESS CATS AND DOGS. DURING MY 4 YEARS AS OWNER WE FOUND HOMES FOR OVER 1500 HOMELESS ANIMALS. WHEN WE SOLD OUR INTEREST IN PET DEPOT WE MADE SURE THE NEW OWNER WOULD CONTINUE THIS WORTHWHILE ENDEAVOR.

IN 1993 I STARTED H.S.I. INC. A TELECOMMUNICATION COMPANY IN FT. MYERS. THIS HAS BEEN MY HOME EVER SINCE. I HAVE SEEN LOTS OF CHANGES HERE AND WANT TO BE PART OF A GROWING MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE DOING GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY.

FROM 1985 TO 1990 I WAS A DEVELOPING ENGINEER FOR BELL TELEPHONE LABORATORIES, AT INDIAN HILL, (NAPERVILLE, IL).

IN 1984 I WAS AN ASSOCIATE ENGINEER FOR GTE (BUSINESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS) NORTHLAKE IL.
