Background

I grew up passionate about sports, playing football and baseball in high school, earning college interest in both. I chose football, accepting a scholarship to play quarterback, where I served as team captain, was a semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, earned Summa Cum Laude honors, and pursued both a bachelor’s in Business Administration and a master’s in Organizational Management.

But talent alone wasn’t enough — for years, I struggled to find the right guidance to reach my full potential. That changed when I met my mentors, coaches and pro players whose influence carried me through the end of my college career and into a professional football career overseas. With the right mentorship, I went from a frustrated college QB to setting a single game passing touchdown record (7) and becoming one of the top quarterbacks in Switzerland’s National League A.

That experience sparked a question. Why shouldn’t every athlete have access to that kind of mentorship?

That’s why I founded Athlete Experience, a Christian-based platform connecting youth and high school athletes with college and pro athlete mentors who have been where they want to go. Our mission is simple, help athletes succeed by providing the support and guidance they need, while also using the platform to inspire and share the gospel.
