BUILDING FINANCIAL FUTURES

Name Image and Likeness became legislatively approved for young athletes, but with no real guidance as to how to navigate it’s inherent complexities. We build the resources for the community to navigate this opportunity to advance the financial position of those that qualify.

As an accomplished athlete himself, Chris has a passion for basketball and has been coaching for several years. He recognized the need to approach youth basketball differently. We have created a Developmental Basketball program that focuses on the fundamentals before the competition.
