About
I founded The Diverse Athletes Project (DAP) because I believe every young athlete deserves a real shot—no matter their background, access, or resources. DAP is a nonprofit rooted in mentorship, exposure, and opportunity for underrepresented student-athletes. It's about using the power of sports to change lives and create equity where it’s been missing for far too long.
I'm also the founder of Naples Knights Football Academy, a post-grad football program designed to give high school graduates a second chance to chase their dreams—on the field, in the classroom, and in life. We focus on academics, athletics, character, and community, building not just players, but powerful young men.
Through JA Marketing and Design, I bring that same passion for equity and storytelling to businesses and nonprofits. I help clients build bold, authentic brands that reflect who they are and who they serve—with a special focus on inclusive, purpose-driven messaging.
Everything I do is rooted in one mission: using creativity and athletics to empower, inspire, and build bridges. This work is my purpose, and I’m proud to be doing it right here in the Naples community.
