From the Buckeye state to the Lone Star state, I'm excited to head west to Texas A&M and help make a lasting impact in their department as Assistant AD of NIL.
Leaving the nest for the first time brings up all kinds of emotions, but I’m ready 🤠

As a kid from Columbus going to Ohio State and playing for the Buckeyes was always a dream of mine and I lived it.
Thankful to be in a position to give back and be an inspiration to those taking a similar path!

One thing that’s baffled me is that we are so outraged about the NCAA, conferences, and institutions handling of the pandemic - when our country and its leaders have fumbled this situation from the beginning...
Loss of employment pales in comparison to loss of a life and a friend. Oddly enough I experienced both this week and find myself numb to the employment loss. I will find another job, there won’t be another Pat 🙏🏾💔
Please support if you feel compelled!

"Leadership matters now more than ever before. My interest in Texas A&M is not only due to its prestigious reputation but also because of President Welsh's compelling vision."
Culture > Talent
If given the time and resources to establish a culture…
If committed to the work that it takes (at all levels) to establish, support and reinforce that culture…
If willing to evaluate and adapt as necessary (even when it’s tough),..
Culture will win.
Today my wife starts her first day as a teacher at Pickerington North! Though it’s my rival school, I’m excited for her continued growth as an educator and for the new opportunities!
Excited to collaborate with
@AdvanceNIL
to provide this educational opportunity to our student-athletes!
We believe
#NIL
is the new way for us to teach tangible life skills and develop our athletes for life after sport.
Aligning with
@AdvanceNIL
reinforces that very thing.
Education doesn’t stop now that
#NIL
is here…I’d argue it’s even more “real” now than ever.
We have to ADAPT and EVOLVE to best serve the new needs of our student-athletes!
NIL & Education….both can exist!
Thanks for having me!

WHO’S NEXT? 👀
If keeping up with NIL and college athletics trends isn’t enough… I’m now reading state legislation and federal bills for work.
I’m realizing that I definitely should’ve paid more attention in my government affairs class in HS. 😂🤣
One cool thing about not being affiliated with a school: you get to support your people at places you couldn’t before. Haha
Appreciate the time and hospitality!
I’m coming back for my Lambo 🤣😂

I can’t help but tip my hat to folks that have children & work in college athletics
As I just now leave the office, I find myself trying to figure out how they can be a present parent, good partner to their sig. other and exceptional at their job.
Something’s gotta give. 🤔
No better week to see this guy than THE week!
Nothing but love for this man, what he stood for and what he tried to teach hard headed 18yr old me.

Coach Sharrett will forever be one of the best to ever do it.
The numbers don’t lie. He helped create a culture of success, that afforded many young men like myself the opportunity to continue chasing our dreams at the next level.
For that I’m thankful.
