Bio

No one hands you the qualities you need for success — you work for them day in and day out. Gary Brackett has built a life around making the most of the cards he was dealt. From being a walk-on student-athlete to becoming an NFL Super Bowl champion and team captain to a successful entrepreneur, Gary has a proven track record of translating championship-level success across multiple playing fields, teams, and individuals.

Gary’s journey exemplifies the power of perseverance and determination. In college, he walked on to the Rutgers football team, where he finished as the team's defensive MVP. In the NFL, Gary rose to the ranks of Team Captain and became a Super Bowl Champion with the Indianapolis Colts.

After his illustrious football career, Gary transitioned into entrepreneurship and business coaching. Armed with an MBA from George Washington University’s Executive Leadership program and an economics degree from Rutgers, he ventured into the restaurant industry, successfully expanding a local brand from 2 locations to a regional chain of 10 stores with 7 franchisees.

The unforeseen challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic led Gary to pivot once again, this time into real estate. He now uses the lessons learned during these trying times to inspire others, reinforcing the belief that we must survive 100% of our bad days to thrive.
