Donald George Quire Jr. (March 23rd, 1988) is an entrepreneur from the United States. As a Health & Fitness professional and Nutritionist he's appeared on television speaks at conferences, youth mentoring events, and health and wellness expos.

Early life
Donald was born on March 23rd, 1988 at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, Florida. He was the first born son to Maeguerita Kelly and Donald Quire.

As the first born male, Donald immediately took on a lot of responsibility around the house. Needless to say, this wasn't an easy task growing up in a middle-lower class household of five. As he put it "The toughest part for me at the time was trying to balance molding myself into the young man I wanted to be while also trying to set the right example for my younger brother".

Like most middle-class families, the Quires were generally pretty blue-collar. Donald Sr. was heavily invested in his handyman business and Maeguerita was always chasing the next dollar juggling running a beauty salon, real-estate, and nursing at nights. This gives us an of idea where Donald got his entrepreneurial mindset from.

Donald's siblings were David, Daniel, Sandra, Eugenia, and Janice. When Donald was about 14 years of age, his sister Janice was diagnosed with Lupus. As the illness advanced, Janice went from a vibrant, high spirited young woman to barely wanting to talk vegetable. What seemed quickly after the diagnosis, Janice could barely walk or talk. Months later she passed.

The Quire family was broken. The tragedy later lead to an apparent separation within the family, which hasn't been mended to this day. Donald had nothing to cling to but his faith, Christianity. In which he boldly professes today as his refuge then and the reason for his success.
