MY HISTORY
I hold my home towns of Central Florida
and New Haven Ct close to my heart. After
graduating from Dr. Phillips High school,
much of my journey began, from Miami
University (OH) all the way to Nicholls
State University “down in the bayou” in
Thibodaux LA. I then went on to play for the
Green Bay Packers in the National Football
League. After being released, I continued
my transition through the Canadian Football
League, but also for the NFL Europe. So, I
guess you can say my football career went
worldwide. Although I didn’t play for long,
my love and passion for the game stayed
with me and transitioned into what is now my
career.
Having been a licensed real estate
professional for over 10 years now, I have
had my hands in all forms of real-estate
throughout Central Florida and beyond. I
believe success is created and although 2017
has been a year of many setbacks for me, I
know a turnaround is coming. In the words
of motivational speaker Willie Jolley “a set
back is a set up for a comeback”!
In the year 2017, I had two knee surgeries
which included a full knee replacement.
This truly put a stop to the momentum I
had created in my life and in my career as
I was forced to take a back seat to it all.
By surrounding myself with my family and
those who matter most, I knew another
breakthrough was bound to happen.
Life is about breakthroughs, triumphs,
dreams, disappointments and making it
through this game called life successfully! I’m
proud of the man that I have become and
feel confident that my purpose is revealing
itself with every handshake and every
motivational speech given..
MY LOVE STORY
Fashioned by Esquire Mens Wear
Our love story is one that is over 20 years
old. I’ve known my beautiful wife since she
was 17 years old and it is now safe to say I
always had a crush on her. She is an amazing
woman who truly has her hands full. Our
journey together began over 7 years ago
and I look forward to 70 more. When they
say that every successful man has a strong
woman behind him it’s true and she’s mine!
We reconnected back in 2011 and I made her
Mrs. McMillan in 2016. The one thing I can
definitely say about our Union is that we do
not believe in 50/50. We have adopted the
philosophy of 100/100. There is no I in TEAM!
Our family is the most important team that I
am apart of and my continuous job is to go
above and beyond for them. A real man, does
what needs to be done and prays for sleep.
When your family goals are bigger than your
personal comforts, then you will always grind
harder. As the good book says, “I am the head
