Born on March 9, 1963 and raised in Nanakuli, Hawaii, Daynin Dashefsky (formerly Daynin Allosada) is proud of her past despite growing up on welfare. She is the 3rd eldest of seven children, which consist of five girls and two boys. Throughout her teen years, Daynin competed in various teen-age pageants. Always placing, but never getting the title. Her persistence paid off when she represented Hawaii and won the national title of Miss Philippines-America in Atlantic City in 1989.

Graduating with only a high-school degree from Nanakuli High School (class of 1981), she pursued both corporate and creative careers before marrying Hawaii news anchor Howard Dashefsky in 1994. A divorce five years later became the nudge she needed to turn her dreams of inventing products into reality.
Divorced at 37 with two young daughters – Kylee, now age 10 and Briana, age 8, Daynin focused the next 6 years of her life on building a life and career where she could be her own boss, work from home, and spend more time with her daughters.

A single parent and Mompreneur with incredible vision, creativity, and ideas for new products, she invented her first product at a family outdoor barbecue. When her mother complained about having to fan away flies with a palm leaf, her solution was the No-Fly Zone, a battery-operated canister with swirling streamers for chasing away insects from the picnic table. Patenting and marketing the No-Fly Zone taught Dashefsky the complex process of being an independent designer, manufacturer, distributor, salesman, promoter and finance planner.
In 2000, Daynin single handedly started Deico Products where she became an inventor and entrepreneur who’s administrative and marketing experience includes, but is not limited to, sales and marketing, shipping and logistics, contract negotiations, product and campaign management, commercial production, manufacturing oversight, product design and development, office management, launching and managing national TV network campaigns, and other operational expertise.

Raising $100,000 from family and friends to finance her first venture gave her the start she
needed, and she has never looked back, investing nearly $1,500,000 into the business to invent exciting new products such as the “2 Cool Fashion” Care’rousel line introduced in 2002-03.
Her prior work experience as a sales rep, legislative aide, architectural executive assistant and kitchen-bath designer for high-rise condos – demonstrates her ability to work in high-level/high-profile capacities, often under significant pressure. She possesses tremendous initiative and drive, which provide the impetus for turning her creative ideas into breakthrough new products.
In July 2003, Daynin got involved in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and has since competed in various tournaments both in Hawaii and Nationally. Her passion for the sport led her to her involvement in the MMA industry as a columnist for Bodyguard magazine where she writes a column called “The Stronger Sex”. She also writes two columns for Pacific Edge magazine called “Mother of Inventions” where she writes about the invention process and “Mind, Body, and Fitness” where she writes about health and fitness.

In 2005, Daynin formed GFI Associates, a marketing and promotions firm. Through GFI, Daynin teaches seminars on “How To Bring Your Product To Market”. The overwhelming success of her seminars and private consulting has led her to produce her seminars on DVD where she will be marketing them through her national infomercial that will be launched in Fall of 2006.
Going from one extreme to another in her career, Daynin is excited about the new challenge and the new opportunities that await her. Knowing that this new adventure will be another stepping stone in her quest to teach and inspire others to go after their dreams.
What the future holds, no one knows, but for Daynin, making a future happen instead of waiting for it to happen is what makes her Daynin. With all the challenges Daynin faces as a single mother and entrepreneur, she only hopes that someday her daughters Kylee and Briana grow up knowing that they too can reach their goals and live their dreams without any limitations put on them other than the ones they put on themselves.
