When I was a kid, we celebrated Easter at my Nana and Grandpa’s house. Like other families, there was an Easter egg hunt. Unlike other families, our hunt was more than competitive – I still have a scar from getting pushed into the rose bushes. My cousin, Vinnie, brother, Christian, and I would line up in a starter position by the back door. At the signal, we would race to see who could find the few plastic eggs with the money inside. As we tallied our take, our family would ask what we planned to do with our money. To instill the importance of saving, Nonno (my other grandpa) would promise to double our money if we deposited it in the savings-account he’d opened for us. It was at a very young age I learned the power of saving and planning.September 22, 2013 was the best and worst day of my life. I had just won my first professional football game on the road, but on the bus ride to the airport, my mom called to tell me that my Nonno had passed away. It didn’t take long to realize I would need to step into Nonno’s shoes and assume responsibility for the financial literacy of the family. Just as he had done for me when I was younger, it was time for me to teach the lessons Nonno had taught me.I love to teach, mentor and coach.
