Vicki Simons is using this “about” page of MrSimons.com to share background information that will help you understand why she is using it to fulfill the legacy that Michael Simons began, including our “accidental” turn to Young Living Essential Oils.
About Michael and Vicki Simons
Michael and Vicki Simons were married in 1991. We have shared money saving tips online since the mid-1990s and Vicki continues to do so through one truckers’ website.
We’ve had a very diverse occupational background, encompassing both white collar and blue collar work.
Michael used his B.A. in Bible, M.A. in Theology, and credits toward a Master of Education degree to teach in Christian schools.
Vicki has a B.S. degree in chemistry. She worked for a number of years in the textile and chemical industries before meeting and marrying Michael.
During our first year of married life, Michael was handed an application for a nationwide trucking company. Through a most adventurous series of events, we both ended up going to and graduating from truck driver training school. We were a husband-and-wife truck driving team for almost three years. Michael has been in and out of the trucking industry several times over the years.
After Vicki finished her work for a statewide educational organization in 2008, she prayed about how to use her “gifts” of researching and writing.
In January 2009, we launched Truck-Drivers-Money-Saving-Tips.com to help professional truck drivers — and those looking to enter the trucking industry as truckers — save money. Whenever asked what her job is, she responds that she is an “infopreneur.”
We have sought to use the time, talents and treasures that the Lord has given to us to honor and glorify Him. In early 2010, we formed a limited liability company (LLC) — NKBJ InfoNet, LLC — in our home state of South Carolina and began earning money from our truck driver-oriented site.
In late 2010 and early 2011, Michael made some transitions, including becoming a local truck driver hauling flatbed loads.
In February 2012, Michael was severely injured in an on-the-job trucking accident.
The Lord healed Michael completely in significant part due to a sample of an essential oil blend — and more of that product that we purchased — both from Young Living Essential Oils.
Michael’s recovery from that injury led to a significant turn in our business.
Read more about Michael’s accident and recovery — and our paradigm shift.
Michael passed into the presence of our Lord on April 7, 2024, meaning that we had been married 32+ years.
Vicki has been doing the following to develop her skills and to help her Young Living organization:
– publishing 2 email newsletters each month;
– creating and publishing at least one post per month on a website;
– creating and posting videos regarding essential oils 2-3 times per week;
– hosting a team Zoom meeting weekly; and
– contacting team members and prospects via in-person meetings, phone calls, texts, and email.
