A year can change your entire life.
One year ago, this was my reality: Coming off a year of getting cut and living on the practice squad.
Confidence shaken. Questioning if I’d ever get back on an active roster.
Walking away from a business I loved and stepping back into uncertainty as an entrepreneur.
Searching for meaning through all of it. And for most of January 2025, I let it weigh on me.
Every. Single. Day.
Fast forward to this January, everything changed. And I’m so hungry. Back on an active roster. Earned my 3 years vested last season. Competing for a life-changing opportunity with my hometown team (Cincy Bengals…Who Dey!). And excited to be a leader in the community that made me.
LETS WORK CINCY!!
Running the largest active-athlete growth fund in the world with my brother, partnered with the most innovative companies in sports, alongside partners who’ve completely changed the trajectory of my life.
Found my faith again. Married the love of my life. And fully committed to leading in a space most people don’t even see yet:Sports-Adjacent Assets, a multi-billion-dollar industry with massive upside.
Here’s the lesson:
One year doesn’t define you.
But how you respond to it does.
Find your purpose.
Stay in the fight.
