From the fast-paced courts of professional basketball to the quiet impact of the classroom, my journey has always centered around one thing: preparation. As a former athlete, I learned early that success isn’t just about talent—it’s about discipline, awareness, and making the right moves before the pressure hits. That same mindset now drives my mission with Protected Promise.

After retiring from professional sports, I stepped into education, where I witnessed a different kind of struggle—financial hardship affecting students, families, and even fellow educators. I saw that while the spotlight often shines on athletes’ financial ups and downs, the truth is that everyday people face the same pitfalls, often with fewer resources and little guidance.

That realization sparked Protected Promise—a company built on the idea that everyone deserves access to smart, honest, and empowering financial advice. I founded it in 2021 to bridge that gap, combining my real-world experience in high-stakes financial decisions with a teacher’s heart for clarity, education, and impact.

At Protected Promise, we’re not just consultants—we’re advocates. Whether you’re a young athlete navigating a new contract or a parent trying to build generational stability, we provide the tools, strategies, and support to help you protect what matters most.

This isn’t just my business. It’s my life’s work. Because financial literacy isn’t a luxury—it’s a promise we all deserve.
