Protect Your Money.
Build Your Legacy.

Guiding Athletes to Financial Success

Why We Exist

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower athletes and first-generation earners to build lasting wealth—because income is temporary, but investing and ownership changes everything.

We know what it feels like to earn money without guidance. Never being taught how to manage a budget, invest, or plan for taxes. That’s why we’re here: to make sure the next generation doesn’t have to do it alone.

We work with current and former athletes, high performers, and young professionals who want more than quick checks and highlight reels. We help them make smart money moves while they’re still earning—so they’re not starting from scratch when the season ends.

Through one-on-one strategy sessions, business setup support, real estate education, and investment coaching, we guide our clients from the first check to the first property—and far beyond. Our approach is personal, practical, and rooted in lived experience.

This is about more than money. It’s about legacy. We’re building a community of earners who own their future. Because when the game is over, life is just getting started.

With a focus on budgeting, investment strategies, and financial education, we aim to equip athletes with the necessary tools to navigate the complexities of managing money in the sports industry.

What We Offer

From budgeting, tax prep, to real estate investing and business strategy—we help athletes take control of their money, protect their income, and build wealth while they’re still in the game.

Built With Purpose

Get To Know The Founder

After earning my business degree from Cleveland State University, I spent over a decade in mortgage banking—learning how money moved for institutions. Then I flipped the script and used that knowledge to build wealth for myself.
