Greater Detroit Area Everest Talent Management partners with select well-known athletes to help them express their brands and interests "off-the-field." We bring a long-term, strategic approach to their non-playing activities and serve as their executive team to bring this to fruition. We look to work with athletes that not only make a mark on their sport, but also "stand out from the crowd" and prioritize their broader impact on their fan base and the world.
