Here’s the score
60% of people haven’t even started estate planning—no will, no protection, nothing in place. That’s like going into overtime without a defensive lineup.
Another 43% say it takes a major life event—like a medical scare or retirement—to even think about writing a will. Meanwhile, 15% already worry their heirs won’t be able to hold on to what they inherit, and probate costs could eat up to 10% of their estate.
That’s where our team comes in…

The foundation has supported students attending top institutions like Stanford, West Point, and the University of Michigan. Through programs like the Viking Challenge, he’s also inspired thousands of young students to commit to academic excellence, personal responsibility, and healthy choices.
He’s served as an Executive Member of the NFL Players Association (NFLPA), advocating for player wellness, education, and post-career support. His philanthropic reach includes youth mentorship, financial literacy initiatives, and community development efforts in cities across the U.S.
As an entrepreneur, Robert has launched and led multiple ventures across industries—from wellness and licensing to blockchain and data analytics. He is the Managing Director of the Purple 24 Fund, a minority-owned global project fund, and has served as CEO or board member for companies including WEFENSE Wellness, XOOX Licensing, and CityTwig. His business acumen is rooted in his belief that athletes and professionals alike deserve tools to build sustainable futures beyond the spotlight.
As Vice President of Hall Of Fame Financial, Robert leads initiatives that educate, support, and inspire individuals through every financial stage—from wealth accumulation to legacy planning. His dedication to impact, mentorship, and long-term vision makes him a driving force in the firm’s mission
Robert and his wife, TeAta, make their home in Los Angeles, California. Grounded in wellness and fueled by curiosity, they share a passion for travel, fitness, and meaningful experiences. Whether trekking through nature or discovering new cultures, their days reflect a life lived with intention, vibrancy, and heart.
