Our Founder: BO PORTER
Bo Porter is living proof that, if given a bridge of opportunity, anyone can reach the peak of his or her potential. He possesses fortitude, a burning desire to attain ambitious goals, and the work ethic it takes to reach and sustain success. An accomplished professional athlete, Major League Baseball (MLB) Executive, entrepreneur, business developer and philanthropist. Bo knows how to empower himself and others to attain the highest levels of personal and professional achievement.
Born and raised in the heart of inner-city Newark, New Jersey, Bo faced many obstacles and long odds of overcoming his environment and the circumstances surrounding his upbringing. His first bridge of opportunity came in the form of a kind gesture from a neighborhood friend. This one gesture opened the first of many doors that would propel Bo though a series of accomplishments that continue to this day.
Bo was drafted by the Cubs in 1993, and earned his Communications degree from the University of Iowa in 1994. He played in the Major Leagues for the Cubs, Oakland A’s and Texas Rangers. He also coached for the Miami Marlins, Arizona Diamondbacks, Washington Nationals, and Atlanta Braves.
At the age of 40, the Houston Astros hired Bo as Manager, making him the youngest manager in MLB at the time. He completed the trifecta of the MLB hierarchy when he was named Special Assistant General Manager of the Atlanta Braves. He was later promoted to Director of the Major League Baseball Players Association Players Trust & Player Development. Bo transitioned into broadcast media when he was hired by the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) as the Pre & Post Game Analyst for the World Series Champions Washington Nationals. He was recently hired by the MLB Commissioner’s Office as the Director of Coaching Development and has worked for MLB Network as a Baseball Analyst.
Bo is a nationally acclaimed Keynote Speaker, known as “The Coach of Champions.” He’s the Founder and Chairman of the Board for Bo Porter Charities, Founding President of Future All-Stars Sports Development Academy, CEO of Bo Porter Enterprise, Founder and CEO of CORE Multimedia Group and the author of two books REal Life EMPOWERED and The END GAME.

On May 5, 2015, Newark, New Jersey’s Mayor Ras Baraka renamed Green Acres Park the Marquis “Bo” Porter Sports Complex.
