Empowering Himself Through Education

Building a broad knowledge base readies this former athlete on the hunt for his next opportunity.

Invest

in real estate. In 2016, real estate piqued his interest. Since then, he’s immersed himself in books, podcasts, and talking to mentors, making it a passion and focus.

Cultivate

education. Taking advantage of every opportunity, he pursued various educational experiences, earning diverse degrees and certifications to position himself for success.

Elevate

family. With a new baby on the way, he is wholeheartedly committed to prioritizing being a great husband and father, ensuring that these roles are his foremost focus.
PAC brought me back into the locker room and allowed me to see another side of my peers. The conversations shifted from game plans to life plans, and it was an awesome, fun, hands on experience. Of course with some competition sprinkled in.

Off the field Success

Kings Key LLC

In 2017, Akeem took his first step into real estate by purchasing a townhome. As his passion progressed, he diligently expanded his portfolio, now boasting 25 units that include single-family homes, multi-family residences, and an 8-unit residential commercial property, all dedicated to long-term rentals. His preference for multi-family properties over single-family homes is evident. Akeem’s decision to obtain his real estate license in 2018 and manage his properties has further empowered his journey. By finding and closing deals independently, he avoids the 3% buyer’s agent fee, giving him a competitive edge in the market.

Adventure

In 2023, Akeem and his wife had the opportunity to travel extensively, starting with their first-ever European adventure taking them to France, Italy, and Switzerland. Among these destinations, Switzerland stood out as a favorite, with its breathtaking landscapes and notably, the best food of the trip. The couple spent their honeymoon in Mexico and traveled across the United States, including a memorable visit to New York. In 2024, he and his wife embarked on more travel adventures before the arrival of their daughter.

Lifelong Learning

During his football career, Akeem devoted his off-seasons to building his educational foundation. Upon retirement, he completed his MBA at the University of Indiana and a subsequent MS in Strategic Management. To broaden his skills base, Akeem obtained 10 certifications from Columbia Business School at Columbia University, spanning value and real estate investment, tech innovation, finance, and more. While in the NFL, Akeem maximized NFL professional development offerings, such as the NFL Businesses Academy and NASA Commercialization Training Camp. Recently, he had an enriching experience with PAC, further enhancing his preparation for his next career.
