Your Athletes' First Line of Defense — Off the Field
Your agents handle the playing contracts.
I handle everything else.
Talent scouting. Athlete branding. Campaign strategy. Endorsement negotiations. Social media. Charity work. Life coaching. The 2am calls. The decisions nobody sees coming. I'm the athlete manager your roster needs — and the hire that sets your agency or brand apart.
Playing Contracts Are Covered By You.
I Handle the Rest.
Together, your athletes have complete coverage — inside the lines and out. That's how you protect the whole person, the whole career, and the whole brand.
What I Handle
Every Single Day.
Why Your Agency or Brand
Needs Me on the Roster.
Sports agencies and brands like Red Bull, Nike, Adidas, and Reebok sign athletes for their talent. But what protects and grows that investment is what happens off the field.
One bad decision. One headline. One athlete who loses their identity under the weight of fame. One endorsement deal that didn't align with who they actually are. That's what erodes the brand equity you've built around them.
I'm the person who prevents that. Not reacts to it — prevents it. I manage the athlete's daily life, their brand, their partnerships, their performance environment, and their identity so they remain the asset you invested in — and grow into more.
The agents handle the playing contract. I handle everything the contract is worth.
I Always Wanted
to Help Athletes.
Just Not That Way.
Since high school, I wanted to be a sports agent. The idea of being in the room, fighting for athletes, advocating for their worth — it pulled me in. I had a chance to learn under agents such as Bus Cook. But as I understood what that job actually demanded, I realized my calling was never in the contracts. It was in the conversations no one else was willing to have.
What troubled me wasn't whether athletes were getting paid fairly. It was whether they knew who they were outside of their sport. Whether they had someone in their corner when the cameras went off. Whether they had purpose beyond the game — because purpose is what keeps you grounded when pressure tries to break you.
So I built my life around that. For over seven years, through Missing The Pieces, Outside The Lines, The Family Plan, and Imperfect Coupl3, I've helped people discover their calling, align with their identity, and build lives that can withstand the weight of success and public scrutiny.
I didn't wait to be handed this role. I've been doing the work of one since high school. Now I want to bring it inside an agency or brand that understands the full picture of what athlete management actually means.
"My goal was never to be the agent in a grimy contract talk. It was to be the coach in the honest conversation — the one that actually changes a life."

Exists. Go See It.
I didn't wait for a job title to start doing this work. Every deck, every campaign, every proposal below was built independently — proof that I can deliver at the level you need before day one.
Who I'm Built to Work With.
The Contracts
Are Covered By You.
Let Me Handle
the Rest.
Seven years of purpose coaching, brand building, endorsement strategy, life management, and athlete development — all pointing toward this. I've been looking out for athletes off the field since high school as an athlete myself. Now I want to do it officially, inside an agency or brand that understands the full value of protecting an athlete's life Outside The Lines.
