Résumé Controversy [edit]

In 2007, Waitley withdrew his renomination to the board of directors of Usana and announced his retirement from the company, after it was discovered that he did not have a Master's degree he had claimed to have from the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California.[5][6] In addition to this USANA informed the Wall Street Journal that they were unable to verify Waitley's Ph.D. from the unaccredited La Jolla University.[7]

He currently resides in Ensenada, Mexico and travels to China along with various countries as a business development consultant.
