A career built on reinvention — and a lens built for complexity
From the NFL to the boardroom, I’ve spent 20+ years navigating uncertainty, recognizing patterns early, and aligning identity with action in high-pressure environments.
From Undervalued Underdog to Strategic Advisor
To many, my journey began at a disadvantage.
As the 252nd pick in the NFL Draft, I entered the league as an afterthought — undervalued, overlooked, and expected to stay on the margins.
But through preparation, self-awareness, adaptability, and a commitment to continuous reinvention, I built a 10-year NFL career and retired as the New Orleans Saints’ all-time leader in major receiving categories.
When my playing career ended, I entered a new kind of transition — one that demanded I create separation in an entirely different environment.
I became an operator, owner, investor, consultant, educator, and strategic advisor.
Across industries and roles, I learned how to read environments, anticipate shifts, and translate identity into sustained performance.
Today, those lessons form the backbone of how I help leaders and organizations navigate complexity, reinvention, and high-stakes decision-making.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Creating Separation™ is the system that turns awareness into sustainable performance.
Creating Separation™ is the methodology I developed through lived experience across elite athletics, entrepreneurship, ownership, leadership development, and strategic advisory roles.
Self Mastery
You can’t lead others—or your next chapter—until you learn to lead yourself.
Strategic Positioning
It’s not just who you are—it’s how you show up in the moments that matter.
Situational Awareness
The advantage isn’t just speed—it’s knowing when, where, and why to move.
This framework is the connective tissue across all of my consulting and advisory pathways — from 1:1 partnerships to institutional strategy.
