My Greatest Accomplishment: My persistent nature, which has kept me involved in sports my entire life.
How Drexel Helped: I enrolled in 2013 with the goal of earning a master’s degree while working fulltime at The Novo Agency, a boutique football agency in northern California. I was hired to help grow The Novo Agency, and part of that growth was to become an NFL agent. The master’s degree met the requirements to take the NFL Players Association agent certification exam, which I passed. The year I graduated I signed a first-round draft pick, 12th overall in the 2015 NFL Draft. When The Novo Agency merged with Rep 1 Sports in 2017, I continued my role as an NFL Agent and finalized an $81 million dollar contract for Brandin Cooks with the Los Angeles Rams. My class material was relevant to the working world, especially in my industry. I was able to develop strong relationships with my faculty — with whom I remain in touch today.
Where I’ll Be in Five Years: I will be continuing to help young men achieve their goals in the NFL.
