Client Testimonials

"Butch and I have a personal and professional relationship that has lasted more than 10 years, and one that will continue long after my playing days are over. There is no one else I would rather have working for me."

- Former UNC All-American, All-ACC, and 4-time NFL Pro-Bowl selection, Alge Crumpler

"In the current landscape of the NFL, you need an agent that does more than just negotiate a contract or endorsement deal…with Butch, our relationship went above the normal ‘athlete-agent’ label, it was more than that, it was a bond."

- Former UNC All-American, All-ACC, and NFL Pro-Bowl selection, Greg Ellis

"There was no need to question whether I was in the right hands…Butch was efficient, responsive, and always prepared. Our bond was professional, yet socially applicable…Butch was everything I needed in an agent."
