and on time with increasing volume.
SILDEM GANDY – Director of Delivery/Manufacturing (Div 4)
Sildem
is proud of his heritage. His nationality is Irish (the Gandy clan is
from Southern Ireland), Scottish (Clan McClendon), Welsh, Greek, Swedish
and Cherokee. A true American!!
His adventurous and inquisitive spirit was manifest early on where he
was constantly taking things apart to see how they worked. It was when
he entered Granger High School in Salt Lake City that he found his true
vocation in science and electronics. An “A” student in math and science
he was the number one student in electronics in the school.
He went on to join the Navy and when he took the aptitude tests they told
him that he had the highest scores they had seen in three years.
In the Navy, he trained in electronics and was the number one student in his class with a 93.95% score overall. He served 10 years on active duty and 10 years in the reserves. He retired from the Navy as a First Class Petty Officer with 20 years of service.
After his active duty service in the Navy in his transition to the civilian workforce he worked in a few different jobs in the electronics field and even served his church for three years. Then in 1988 he went to college, first at the Salt Lake Community College and then to the University of Utah where he earned his Bachelors degrees in Computer Science and Computer Engineering.
Upon graduating, Sildem worked as a computer programmer for a startup
company in Salt Lake City, Quies Corporation for three years. In 1994
he moved to Las Vegas and changed over to working in computer hardware
for Digital Equipment Corporation where he gained skills in working on
all levels of computer equipment from printers to personal computers to
the fastest servers on the planet. In December 2006 he started working
for himself as a computer consultant. Then in February 2007 he got a phone
call from a friend that worked at AffinityLifeStyles.com that they needed
some computer help. He saw this as an interesting challenge and came onboard.
After seeing that the company’s goals were aligned with his goals, he
invested everything he could raise in the company and has dedicated himself
to the success of the company to this day.
Sildem’s hobbies are hiking, motorcycle riding and volunteering at his church. You can see him here at the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation area cleaning up the hiking trails.

Richard

he was a young boy. Perhaps some of these traits were acquired while attending
famed Garfield High (Home of Jaime Escalante and Oscar de La Hoya) in
East Los Angeles. At the age of 18 he moved to Las Vegas, Nevada. His
first job was at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino as an inventory control
clerk. It was at this world class resort that Richard acquired a strong
foundation in warehouse management skills.
After a few years, Richard took a position with a smaller company - Chef Jays Food Products. At Chef Jays, Richard started out as a mixer and quickly worked his way up, within a mere 3 months, to production supervisor. Once established with Chef Jays, Jay Littman Owner of Chef Jays promoted Richard to Assistant Director of Operations and Research and Development Director. While at Chef Jays, Richard made dramatic changes to daily operations which included the product image and most significant was that he enhanced the product’s formulas. The enhancements resulted in a longer shelf life and a more flavorful product.
Richard joined Affinity in 2007 and was quickly promoted to Production Manager. Realizing the positive benefits of the Real Water, he is very excited for the future.
Richard has two beautiful young girls, Jasmine who is 8 and Julie who is 4.
