HARDIE JACKSON | Treasurer

Hardie Jackson has over 30+ years of experience in the sports industry focused on a wide range of  ways to assist athletes in their amateur and professional careers. He is a graduate of Vanderbilt University, where he was a student athlete on the Baseball team. After graduating, Hardie was a MLBPA Certified Player Representative from 1988 to 2008 and represented Professional Baseball Players as President of North American Baseball/Owner at CSMG Sports. He then helped build an athletic protective gear company, EvoShield, as the VP of Marketing and Partnerships and an owner until the company was sold in 2018. Hardie then founded Athletengine Consulting to provide guidance and support to athletes and their families who are navigating the college recruiting process or planning for their retirement from professional sports. Hardie has been involved with the Big Brother/Big Sister Program of Atlanta for over 35 years. He started working with his "little brother", Timmandre Hood, when he was 6 years old and he just turned 39. Hardie resides in Atlanta with his wife and three children. Hardie is excited about being involved with "I Have A Dream" because he feels it will give him the opportunity to help, assist and make an impact for a great number of young men and women in the Atlanta community.
