Mr. Melehan is a husband, father, and fulltime entrepreneur.  He earned his undergraduate degree from UC Santa Barbara and later, the distinguished Certified Financial Planner^tm (CFP^®) designation.  Before being emboldened by a grand, yet simple idea (LifeAID), he owned a successful financial planning practice in the Santa Cruz area where he was also a monthly financial columnist for the local newspaper.

In 2010, he met his business partner, Dr. Aaron Hinde, through their then first grade daughters, and a friendship and partnership emerged.  Mr. Melehan’s financial background and creativity paired well with Dr. Hinde’s background in nutrition, entrepreneurship, politics, and ability to think and act big.  Together, along with a talented core team of dedicated individuals, they manifested a beverage company from a single idea – to create the most healthy and the most effective vitamin / supplement drinks on the market that target specific avocations.  They now call these synergy drinks.  That company is now the fast growing LifeAID Beverage Co. and is the beginning of a movement away from unhealthy energy drinks and ineffective sports drinks.  LifeAID is an authentic company and represents a genuine revolution in the beverage industry.  It is this thought that motivates Mr. Melehan every day.

Mr. Melehan is husband to his beautiful (and tolerant) bride Edlina, and father of his two daughters – Sofiya and Gabby.  In addition to his family and obsession with LifeAID, he enjoys playing music, golf, and CrossFit – as the astute observer might have guessed.
