Conner’s  journey is a powerful testament to resilience, faith, and purpose. Raised by a single mother and told to “change his name” by his struggling, addict father, Conner found his value in football. His Division 1 football career was marked by unrelenting perseverance, enduring seven season-ending injuries and an astonishing 1,646 days between his last high school game and his first collegiate appearance. Beyond the gridiron, Conner’s mission extended globally, traveling to India to confront the horrors of human trafficking and returning to the U.S. to raise awareness about this crisis. His story is one of breaking generational cycles of addiction and mental illness, saving his father’s life, discovering his faith, and transforming pain into purpose.

Today, Conner is a storyteller and advocate whose original writing has inspired hundreds of thousands across social media. Committed to being mission-oriented, he uses his life experiences to speak on the power of resilience, faith, and embracing suffering as a catalyst for growth. Whether sharing hard-earned lessons from the field or his personal battles, Conner’s voice resonates deeply with high school, college, and professional athletes across the country. His message motivates others to find strength in adversity, purpose in pain, and a greater mission in life’s challenges.
