Derrell Gray - Founder
Greetings! My name is Derrell Gray. I am a Business Analytics major at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and a former football athlete from the Raleigh, NC area. In my athletic career I was voted to the All Conference team twice, was voted to the All Region team for Defensive Back, and performed as a two way athlete on a team that competed in a state championship game. I am extremely passionate about sports, business, networking, and lending a helping hand to those in need. I have expertise in sports analytics, marketing, financial management, and networking. My goal with Gr8ter Good Athletics is to help athletes reach their maximum potential by making sure that they utilize the God given gifts that they have received. At Gr8ter Good Athletics, we believe in using the power of sports as a catalyst for positive change.
