After selling Intelladon Mr. Gostyla’s suffered some serious personal issues that sent his professional career in a drastic downturn almost costing him everything. As a child Scott Gostyla was given up by his parents and placed in foster homes and had to overcome enormous odds to succeed, however when he was faced with a divorce and the thought of not being able to provide his son the family he never had, he was emotionally devastated. Companies that he invested in started failing, frivolous lawsuits spun out of control, and a divorce so nasty it could have been on TV talk shows consumed his life. But his focus was not on his life, it was on the fact that he was going to fail as a parent, a horrible feeling that only a foster child could understand, and something that took an enormous physical and emotional toll driving him into seclusion and almost costing him his life.

But then again in a bad economy and against all odds with the help of a very committed group of supporters Mr. Gostyla reengaged his highly polished entrepreneurial skill set took control of his situation, self educated himself in the medical industry, and within a period of only 12 months turned a struggling debt laden medical company into a profitable multimillion dollar national leading preventative health care organization.

As CEO of GHI Medical Mr. Gostyla continues to successfully grow the company by developing new testing processes focused around hair loss issues and constantly exceeding quarterly expectations.
