Devon was born and raised in New York City and shares the same energetic heartbeat, big personality, and commitment to excellence as his hometown. Growing up, his love and hard work in sports resulted in him receiving a basketball scholarship to Belmont Abbey College in North Carolina.

After graduation, he spent years working on the front lines of NYC. Devon worked with an organization responsible for developing behavioral health programs for youth, families, and first-time fathers in some of the toughest neighborhoods throughout the city that never sleeps.
