After winning multiple championships on the gridiron with the New York Giants, former long snapper Zak DeOssie is setting up clients to score financially with Goldman Sachs.
Earlier this month he announced his retirement from football in order to pursue new ventures. DeOssie told Cheddar that his time in the NFL was just a pit stop in his journey to the world of business.
"The plan was back in undergrad at Brown University, I was supposed to start finance back in '07. I took a little detour in the NFL with the Giants," he said.
The move away from professional sports, according to DeOssie, was sparked by watching friends find financial success.
"That got me to thinking I should spend my offseasons interning at different banks, different places across the street, and I was fortunate enough to end up at Goldman here 13 years later," he explained.
DeOssie, the son of a former champion New York Giant, Steve DeOssie, and a member of the 2008 and 2012 championship teams himself said he looks to be just as dominant in finance as he was on the field.
"I think through my work ethic and my ability to be part of a team — I was captain for nine years — I look to bring those things over with me to Goldman Sachs," he told Cheddar.
While many Americans have been forced out of work this year and are considering transitioning to completely new careers, DeOssie is encouraging people to take a leap of faith and welcome changes.
"Don't be afraid to change, don't be afraid of change, and embrace it and run with it," he said.
