“I graduated from Kellogg around 30 years old with no real business world experience, having spent all of my 20’s playing in the NFL. The network I developed on campus and the fellowship amongst fellow Kellogg grads have been instrumental in helping me get to where I am now over a decade removed from the NFL"
