DON DAVIS
Don Davis is a two-time Super Bowl champion, doctoral scholar, and founder of D3 Advisory Group — a leadership consultancy built for Fortune 500 executives navigating culture change, high-performance teams, and complex organizational transformation.
A University of Kansas graduate, Don played linebacker across multiple NFL teams before joining the New England Patriots coaching staff and rising to Chief Player Officer of the NFL Players Association — one of the most influential labor organizations in professional sports. Along the way, he earned an MBA and a Doctorate in Education in Leadership, Learning, Culture, and Change from The George Washington University.
What sets Don apart isn’t any single credential — it’s the combination. He has led in locker rooms, negotiated at the highest levels of professional sports, and grounded it all in rigorous academic research. That three-environment fluency — elite athletics, executive leadership, and doctoral scholarship — is what he brings to every client engagement.

BRYAN HURLBUTT
Since 2004, Bryan has been the lead and founding pastor of Lifeline Community in West Jordan, Utah, where his mission has been to cultivate holistic disciples of Christ with lives of passionate engagement and intellectual depth. He has discipled men for over 20 years, teaching from an authentic place where his own story fits into God’s grand story.
In addition to pastoring, Bryan teaches and writes on a wide range of topics, including theology, worldview and discipleship. His book, “Tasty Jesus: Liberating Christ from the Power of Our Predilections,” equips believers to respond to the distortions of Christ created by the personal tastes of our culture that conflict with the Bible and historic Christian orthodoxy. He published “Cohort: Forming a Legion of Disciples in the Local Church” to teach church leaders effective strategies for developing discipleship structures and curriculum. Additionally, he has written David: A Man of Godly Passions, a short book of powerful lessons from the life of the great biblical figure.
Out of his passionate commitment to minister to men, Bryan has been a curriculum writer, video teacher, and national speaker for BetterMan. He holds a Doctor of Ministry degree from Talbot School of Theology and a Master of Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary.
Bryan is joined in life and ministry by his best friend and wife of over 28 years, Jennifer. Together, they have poured their lives into three beautiful and precious daughters: Brynne, Reghan and Tierney. Although Utah has been his home for many years, Bryan was raised in New York and still bleeds Syracuse Orange.
