Testimonials

“Reggie has a great passion for serving and leading his family, being a mentor to the kids in the community, and being an ambassador for the Jesus Christ team! His ability to relate to the youth and parents through his experiences has been a blessing to his community and our country! I had the pleasure of being one of his mentors and his willingness to learn from others is on full display today. He is paying it forward which is our calling for Christ.”

Charlie Ward Jr.

Former NBA Basketball Player, Heisman Trophy Winner

“Reg is as conscientious and intentional with his family, friends, strangers, and in particular the youth of our world. From the first time I met him, I knew that he had a heart for people led by his strong faith and a desire to live it out in his vocation and service to society. He may look up to me as a big brother, but the feeling is mutual. He is certainly someone that I would trust with my own kids. I don’t know many people that live out their faith in service to others like Reg.”

Monty Williams

Former NBA Basketball Player, Current Head Coach of the Detroit Pistons

Reggie is a shining example within our community of a Renaissance Man. He is disciplined and committed to his profession, family and his community. I have worked alongside Reggie in our RBM mentoring program and have seen firsthand his command of language, his oratory skills, youth development and character education expertise. He has served as keynote speaker to our fatherhood initiative and continues to inspire fathers to be fully present in the lives of our children through teaching and modeling life skills as well as celebrating small milestones ."
