Steve and Gina Merritt Honored With Outstanding Leadership Award at LifeWave
Steve and Gina Merritt were honored for outstanding leadership at LifeWave’s “Share the Light” Conference in Anaheim, California, as the company celebrated innovation, growth, and leadership.
During the event, Steve and Gina were recognized with a Special Tribute Award for their exceptional contributions to the LifeWave community.
LifeWave Founder and CEO David Schmidt and his wife, Christina Fabrin, presented a special recognition to Steve and Gina Merritt at the recent LifeWave Share the Light Conference, honoring their heroic leadership and the lasting influence they have had on the LifeWave organization.
Known for his love of Iron Man, the innovator behind the scenes, David Schmidt shared that in LifeWave’s universe, the captain’s role belongs to Steve Merritt. Like Captain America, Steve leads with bold conviction and steady purpose.
“I’m honored to be recognized as the Captain America of LifeWave and to be part of this life-changing journey with David Schmidt,”
Steve explained.
“After decades in the network marketing profession, I can confidently say that David is the best owner I’ve experienced in the industry. I value being aligned with an owner and company focused on product innovation and long-term vision.”
Gina was honored as LifeWave’s Wonder Woman, embodying superhero strength, grace, and an unwavering commitment to uplifting others. To commemorate their example, David presented custom superhero creations he personally crafted in the LifeWave laboratory.
“A few years ago, we were praying and searching for an opportunity that aligned with our values,”
Gina shared.
“God blessed us with every one of our requests. We give Him all the credit for our success,”
she added with gratitude.
Currently ranked as LifeWave’s top-performing independent distributors based on organizational production and team development metrics, Steve and Gina have become known for their energy, consistency, and dedication to helping others grow.

During the recognition ceremony, David expressed his appreciation for bold leadership and visionary thinking, drawing a fun comparison between superhero traits and the values he sees demonstrated in the Merritts — including resilience, courage, service, and innovation.
Founded more than two decades ago, LifeWave continues to expand internationally. According to rankings published by Business For Home (see BusinessForHome.org for ranking methodology and details), the company has recently appeared among the fast-growing companies in the direct selling industry.
The Merritts believe LifeWave is a 21-year “best-kept secret,” as many people are still unaware of the company and its accomplishments. They believe the biggest leaders have yet to get started. As LifeWave advances its global expansion strategy, the Merritts plan to continue sharing their leadership systems, training frameworks, and team-building approach with independent distributors in emerging markets.
Their focus remains simple: product education, leadership development, and helping others pursue their own professional goals within the LifeWave opportunity.
