Super Bowl XLVIII
MetLife Stadium | February 2, 2014
I still remember when the news came out that New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ won the bid to host Super Bowl XLVIII.
It was May 25, 2010. I found out a day later. I was sitting at the computer desk in the living room at my mom's house in Little Rock, AR reading the article on ESPN. New York/New Jersey beat out Tampa and South Florida. I remember saying to myself..."I'm going to the Super Bowl. That Super Bowl. I don't know how, but I will be there."
Little did I know that in three months, I would be homeless for the third time in as many years. God had a divine plan up His almighty sleeve! What was meant to harm, deter, and destroy me, God used it to propel me. He gave me beauty for ashes! That turn of events led me on a trajectory to move back to New York to pursue my dreams in the sports and entertainment industry. Fate would have it that I would be at the naming rights ceremony - New Meadowlands Stadium is christened MetLife Stadium. Met. Life. How befitting. Thanks Van Wagner!
Speak things into existence. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. Trust me, dreams do come true!
Never, and I mean, NEVER give up! Thank you God!!!

New Meadowlands Stadium becomes MetLife Stadium

Giants and Jets players take the stage at the MetLife Stadium naming rights ceremony.
At Van Wagner, I was a Brand Ambassador and did various activations at Yankee Stadium and MetLife Stadium including the Yankee Player of the Month sweepstakes, Countdown Card program, and pro athlete autograph signing sessions. Because I did so well, per usual, I was recommended for a position at MetLife Stadium, and the rest is history!

It's Game Day!!!
President Bill Clinton shook my hand right after I snapped this pic!
Changed into my white suit for the game! Fresh AF!
Bruno Mars did an AMAZING job!
I wholeheartedly believe God was shining down on the NFL, Super Bowl XLVIII and ME! Not only was it a great game AND we had beautiful weather, a major snowstorm hit the New York metropolitan area less than 12 hours after the game. Thankfully, we were well prepared and implemented snow removal operations detailed in the video below that I created and edited for MetLife Stadium. It was used to train 1,200+ support staff I hired for snow removal logistics.
And can you believe this... here is me choppin' it up with former NY Giants player Rodney Hampton at Mad River on the Upper East Side on January 10, 2012. He let me try on his Super Bowl XXV ring! Little did I know that just two years later, I would be working Super Bowl, too! Look at God! Won't he do it!
