DeShone Kizer - Founder & CEO
DK, a Toledo, Ohio native, grew up playing football, baseball, and basketball at the all-state level. His sports journey led him to God Country, Notre Dame, to play quarterback and study at the Mendoza College of Business. A true entrepreneur at heart, DK studied finance and spent his free time coming up with new business ideas. He also spent his short summer break as an intern reporting directly to the CEO of GE Capital concerning the Capital Aviation Services division.
After a few successful seasons on the Gridiron at Notre Dame, the business-minded QB was selected in the second round of the NFL draft to the Cleveland Browns and went on to be the youngest starting QB and led them in 15 games that season. After completing his 5th year in the NFL, DK couldn’t pass up the opportunity to explore his entrepreneurial dream with an idea that is at the forefront of all technology. As a free agent in 2021, DeShone dove deep into the Crypto/NFT world networking and learning from some of the biggest investors and builders in the NFT space. He has now transitioned out of football and is now full-time quarterbacking the One of None team.
