2. The Inspiration…
“I was born into football and it has been a big part of my entire life. My father was a dedicated
High School Coach (in several Halls of Fame as a coach and player) who used the game to help
kids build strong character and learn valuable life skills. He taught me the importance of having
sky high values, rock solid integrity and an unshakable belief in my dreams. Partnering with NFL
players to make this world a better place is my dream. My late mother was the epitome of pure
love and the kindest person I have ever known. Her love for children was awe-inspiring. She
always had hot cookies waiting for us when we came home from school. After we grew up and
left home, she joyfully continued the tradition with children she didn’t even know. She spent her
life lifting people up and when she was feeling down which wasn’t often she did so even more.”
