The Huddle
The Huddle is our inner team. They lead the work, shape the strategy, build the curriculum and stand beside our athletes and their families.
CEO & Founder
A former Arizona Wildcats D1 football player, Jamarye played Wide Receiver and Return Specialist after arriving as a quarterback. His 2019 season, played after three foot surgeries, changed how he saw life after the game. He started Foundations Athlete so no athlete graduates with nothing, and to remind every athlete they are more than a jersey number.
Strategic Consultant
Larry advises Foundations Athlete on strategy and helps shape where the organization goes next.
Athlete & Family Coordinator
Terrell is the point of contact for our athletes and their families, making sure each one has support and a clear next step.
Strategic Consultant
Chris played basketball at the University of Illinois and then professionally for the Chicago Bulls, the San Antonio Spurs and in France. After the game he moved into financial services in 1999 and went on to found Midwest Legacy Group, which works with executives, business owners and pro athletes on wealth, retirement and asset protection. He is the 2026 President of NAIFA, the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors. At Foundations Athlete he helps guide our athletes on money, career and life-after-sports strategy, from someone who's made that jump himself.
Education & Curriculum Lead
Elijah Mason is a disciple of Christ, husband and father who believes money is something we steward, not something we own. He walked away from his dream job in banking when God called him to teach the next generation, and today he's the Founder & Chief Steward of TIYL Financial and author of The L.Y.T. Framework: A Christian Guide to Financial Stewardship. At Foundations Athlete he builds the lessons that help athletes be fruitful, multiply and manage their portion well. For Elijah, sound money management starts with knowing whose money it is.
