About Me
I am a lawyer, law professor, and author, and I am among the nation’s foremost sports law authorities.
I serve on the Board of Directors for the Sports Lawyers Association and for the Fritz Pollard Alliance of coaches, scouts and executives of color in the National Football League, the National Sports Law Institute’s Board of Advisors, and the LawInSport Editorial Board.
My extensive involvement also includes serving as a member of the NCAA’s Committees on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sport, the United States Anti-Doping Agency’s Anti-Doping Review Board, and the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee’s Racial and Social Justice Expert Advisory Team, demonstrating my commitment to competitive safeguards and governance.

Chidlren’s Author
My most important job, though, is being a dad to my three sons, who inspired me to write the book closest to my heart, You Are My Favorite Story (Fair Share Publishing), a children’s picture book collaboration with my college and law school classmate, Shani King.
Together with illustrator John Jay Cabuay, we invite readers into a loving conversation between father and child, reflecting on the joys and challenges of parenthood – moments of laughter, worry, pride, and unconditional love.
