Mr.
Rudy Revak - Founder & President
It is said that
there are few people who have the ability to visualize a goal and know
how to make it happen. Rudy Revak not only has the vision, but has the
ambition, the talent and the drive to make his vision a reality for
himself and for thousands of others who have made Symmetry a part of
their lives.
Rudy was born in a German barn loft, a child of
refugees. His parents knew suffering and oppression and, after
bringing their family to America, they never let Rudy forget how
fortunate he was to be in a country where he had the opportunity to
become whatever he dreamed. He saw his parents work long, hard hours
on a chicken farm trying to make ends meet. He vowed that when he grew
up he would do what he could to repay them for those years.
After spending several years
in the U.S. Army, and upon returning home from Vietnam, Rudy went to
college. After two years, and after watching several friends graduate
only to find low-paying jobs, Rudy realized that merely having a
higher education was not a guarantee of higher earnings.
Later, after he had entered
the work force, Rudy turned to direct sales to supplement his income.
His background had given him a strong belief in the power of free
enterprise. “There truly is no other system that offers people so
much," reflects Rudy today. “Yet many people don't realize what is
actually available to them through this wonderful system." Within a
few years, Rudy would become a successful distributor, building a
large international direct sales organization. However, Rudy wanted to
create something new of his own, something that would reflect all that
he had learned about people and business -- where he could do business
guided by the principles he believed in, and where he could give to
others what he had been fortunate enough to find in his own life. And
so Symmetry was born.
When he started Symmetry, Rudy had a vision. Part
of it was to make available to people a product line that would help
them reach their full physical potential. For years he had studied and
used nutritional supplements, and believed that good nutrition could
make a positive impact on a person's energy and health, and on their
life. He wanted to help make it possible for everyone to reap these
benefits.
But that wasn't the entire vision. Rudy's primary
goal was to create a vehicle which could help thousands of people to
grow, develop and reach their own financial goals. As one of the
founding fathers of the direct sales industry, he has known and worked
with many of the giants in direct sales. He has pulled together a team
of these pioneers to form the core of his new business, and in the
process, has created an opportunity unlike any other today.
Rudy's goal is to make
Symmetry the most respected direct sales company in the world. Through
a high-quality product line, an outstanding marketing plan and a
philosophy of helping people to help themselves, Symmetry offers
people from all walks of life and all corners of the globe, a chance
to achieve success and to live their dreams.
Mr.
Willie Larkin - Vice President, Distributor Training & Development
Willie Larkin
entered the direct sales business in 1969 on a part-time basis while
teaching school full time in Chicago, Illinois. After discovering how
fascinating and lucrative it was, he decided to make direct sales a
career and soon found he could use his teaching skills to show people
how to reach their goals and dreams. He then found himself quickly
achieving the positions of Area, Regional, and Divisional Director and
later, he became a Vice President of a company.
In 1975, there came an
exciting opportunity to expand abroad. Since that time, Willie has
conducted sales and management conferences for a wide variety of
people in the direct sales industry. His travels have taken him to the
Orient, Europe, South America, Canada, and Mexico. He has helped
thousands of distributors build their businesses and spends thousands
of hours training people in direct sales.
Today, Willie is one of the
industry's most highly respected international executives. We're proud
to have him as a member of the Symmetry Executive Team.

chance by getting involved in the direct selling industry.

Mr.
Brandon Langer - Corporate Vice
President USA
Hi my
name is Brandon Langer. I am the Director of Field Support for the US
and have been working at Symmetry Corporation for more than eleven
years. I have had the opportunity to do everything in the company from
stuffing envelopes, to answering phones, to traveling around the
world.
I was born and raised in the Silicon Valley in
California, where everybody wants to work for an internet-based
company or in the technology field. However, I have always had a dream
to be in a position where I would be able to help change people’s
lives for the better physically and financially.
I graduated from San Jose State in 2002 with a
Hospitality Management degree and a minor in Business, but I chose not
to search the job market where I would ultimately hear that I didn't
have enough experience. Instead, I chose to work my way from the
bottom up at Symmetry Corporation, were I was working part time.
A person that I highly respect said to me, "there is
no shame in failure, there is only shame in quitting." I will remember
these words for the rest of my life. This quote reminds me to never
quit at anything I do.
To help Symmetry succeed, I always aim to have a
positive mental attitude and never give up. My goal is to bridge the
gap between our business partners and the company, making sure that
the field has a voice and that voice is heard.
I want to support your business the best I can
because above all, I know business partners are my number one
priority. I look forward to working with you and continuing to enjoy
the journey to success.
Mr.
Brian Niederhaus - Corporate
Vice President International
Brian brings over 14 years of direct selling
experience to the Field Services team. In addition, he has many years
of “traditional” business management under his belt. Having built a
successful sales force and customer base, Brian understands how
important good support is to a business partner in the field. He and
the Field Services teams around the world are focused purely on your
success and the success of your sales team.
