About Ryan Sheldon

I have always enjoyed business and the creativity that stems from building things from the ground up. Naturally, I have the lemonade stand story as a kid ($100/day, my brothers and I hustled back in the day); but that yielded a strong passion for larger better things.

While a freshman at Belmont University, I developed (with the help of a friend) an algorithmic company that matches people's palate with bottles of wine and craft beer in local stores to provide greater access and knowledge to new comers to the market.

After graduating from University, I returned to Alaska where I pursued the purchase and management of a landscaping firm (+50 employees).

After passing on the purchase option for the landscaping company, I joined the family company Sheldon Chalet as Experience Director, ushering the company from a mere startup to recognition as a global brand partnering with brands like Gulfstream.

Finding a taste for hospitality, I launched a local accommodations and wedding venue here in Talkeetna, AK. These are nice, autopilot style companies which allow the owner to feature their creativity without an incredible amount of time spent.

My latest endeavor includes myself and friend Reese Hanneman (olympic athlete). We have launched and are generating revenue on a brand named ANTIDOTE, which specializes in the creation and development of an ultra pure, ultra clean pre-workout for people that care about what they put in their bodies. Currently, the pre-workout space is crowded with ingredients that are known to be harmful to hearts, lungs, bodies and some which can cause cancer. We are seeking to change the script by releasing our all natural pre-workout, potent and proven; designed with the help of nationally recognized nutritionists.

I'm looking forward to working with you and chatting about how wonderful and fun business can be.
