The past couple of months have been nothing but exciting for A.T. and I. We love taking on big projects backed by big ideas! As of June, we officially jumped on board the new Athletic Program at Virginia University of Lynchburg (VUL). A.T. is the Assistant Athletic Director and Strength & Conditioning Coach.  26 years of training soldiers in the military has now come into full swing in the form of 100 football players.

I very eagerly jumped in the role of Director of Marketing & Promotions for the Athletic Department. After carefully studying the master brander & PR giant - and my former boss - Donald Trump, it's been awesome putting those skills to use for such a deserving group of athletes.

The road ahead isn't easy with this being our inaugural season but the coaching staff alone brings about an intense hope for the players and their future with VUL. Coach Willard Bailey, the new Athletic Director, carries a history of football excellence. With over 200 career wins and 7 CIAA Championships, he is just the man to head this program. Coach Luther Palmer and Coach Hubie Bryant, both former NFL greats combine with Coach Bailey to accumulate over 150 of their players now in the NFL.

As we head into the season, with our opener in Greensboro at NC A&T, September 3rd, we are all thrilled with the upcoming possibilities!  Stay up-to-date on the latest VUL Dragons Football news by following us on Facebook!
