Let's Have an Honest Conversation

Here is what I find myself saying to almost every family I sit down with.

You are not behind because you made bad decisions. You are behind because nobody sat down with you and told you the truth about what you actually have in place — and what you don't.

Most families assume the school has their athlete covered. Most families assume that if money is coming in, things will work themselves out. Most families don't find out about the gaps until an injury happens, a contract falls apart, or tax season arrives with a bill nobody planned for.

My job is to have that honest conversation before any of those things happen. Not to sell you something. To show you what's real, what's missing, and what we can put in place so your family is protected no matter what the next few years bring.

That is the conversation I've been having with families since 2019. And it always starts the same way — with me listening first.

Who this is for

Two different families. The same conversation.

The NIL Family

Your athlete is earning right now. NIL deals, revenue share, real money moving through accounts that have no structure underneath them. You are sitting across tables from agents, brands, and universities who all have representation. Your family deserves the same. We build the plan that protects the income, manages the tax obligation, and turns a four year window into a foundation that lasts decades.

The Legacy Family

You do not have to have an athlete in the house to need this conversation. If you want to make sure the wealth you are building does not reset to zero with the next generation, we need to talk. Life insurance, indexed wealth strategies, and retirement planning are tools that work for any family who is serious about what they leave behind. Most people wait too long to start. The best time is now.

What We Build Together

A real plan. Not just a policy.

Every family's situation is different. But the building blocks are the same — protection, tax strategy, wealth structure, and a legacy plan that outlasts the career.

Life and Income Protection

Making sure your family is covered if the worst happens — not with a $35,000 school policy, but with real coverage built around your athlete's actual value.

Disability and Critical Injury Coverage

A career ending injury does not have to mean a financial crisis. We put coverage in place before the injury happens, not after.

Tax Advantaged Wealth Building

NIL income is taxable. We build the structure that grows your family's wealth while protecting it from unnecessary tax exposure.

Legacy and Retirement Planning

Most athletes retire before 30. We plan for that reality and build a foundation that keeps compounding long after the last game.

NIL Education and Guidance

Before you sign anything, you should understand it. We walk your family through the landscape so you know exactly what you are agreeing to.

Families We Have Worked With

In their own words.

These are real families who were navigating uncharted territory and needed someone in their corner.

My son is a rookie in the NFL right now. He was in the very first wave of college players getting an NIL deal while playing at Syracuse. I called Marty many days while we were negotiating a deal because there were no books, no templates, no information about this new landscape. "Don't sign anything without an attorney reviewing it first" is what Marty consistently told me. I'm glad I listened.

My daughter was the first high school student athlete in the state of Maryland to get an NIL deal with a national brand. I'm glad that Marty was a part of our team of trusted voices in an uncharted territory of NIL deals.

What We Did not Know

My grandson is a freshman offensive lineman at Indiana University. After speaking with Marty and his team of trusted advisors about our current situation, he told us the truth about insurance coverage — and they helped us put a generational wealth plan in place for my grandson's future. Thank you, Marty.
