How I Negotiate for the Kingdom of God
Every opportunity, every platform, every conversation, I approach with purpose. The world may negotiate for status and success, I negotiate for God’s glory.

INTEGRITY – God’s favor is my foundation, therefore I refuse to compromise my values for worldly gain. INFLUENCE – My purpose is bigger than me. It’s about reaching student-athletes, teams, ministries, and leaders with a message that transforms lives. “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” – Matthew 6:33battled and bruised shop wear coming soon
