Reggie is also a board member of Backfield in Motion, a nonprofit he attended as a young boy, aimed at helping at-risk inner-city boys recognize their full potential through academic and athletic enrichment. Reggie was recognized as one of Nashville’s Black 40 Under 40, an award given to Nashville’s brightest millennials affecting community change in middle Tennessee. He was recognized as an Owen World Shaper, an honor given to those business school students who not only succeed in business but also improve the community.

These days Reggie works with Rosecrete wealth management on the belief that there are two things that can dramatically change a person's life for the better: education and financial support.
