Greg Bell

President

Greg Bell lived an entire career most people only dream of, then built another one. A 1984 first-round NFL draft pick, he rushed for over 1,100 yards as a rookie and earned Pro Bowl honors — before Roger Goodell hand-picked him to help build NFL Europe. He later called games for Fox Sports and Westwood One Radio. A Notre Dame grad who finished his degree in 3½ years, Greg now leads Athletes for Life™, mentoring the next generation through the Summer Life Skills Camps.
