Ambassadors

Mason Smith became our very first brand ambassador because he embodies everything that RIS is about.  He's a football player and wrestler at Brophy College Prep.  From the second we met him, we knew he was different in the best way possible.  Determined, wears his Heart on his sleeve, and always willing to help.  His work and effort makes up for everything that people think he doesn't have.  In fact, he has more in him than anyone knows.

 

Mark Manfredi is a Pitcher in the Milwaukee Brewers organization.  In 2025, he pitched for the Biloxi Shuckers, the AA team for the Brewers.  As a professional athlete, his job is taking care of his body.  From training to nutrition, he's on top of all of it, but something was missing.  When we brought the Seacell clothing idea to him, he couldn't wait to try it.  To make it to the Bigs, every little advantage helps!

 

Haggai Ndubuisi is Defensive Tackle in the NFL, most recently playing for the Houston Texans.  His path to the NFL was a combination of fate, luck, and faith.  His talents were found at a camp in Nigeria, and was selected to the NFL's International Pathway Program.  His first organized American Football game was played in the NFL pre-season.  Haggai is one of our favorite people of all time.  Physically he's one of the strongest people we've ever been around.  His Faith and Belief is even stronger.  When he walks into a room, he's going to make you laugh and he's going to bring an energy that pulls you in.  He's genuine, caring, and most certainly wears his heart on his sleeve.  His goals aren't for him...all his efforts are to help his family back in Nigeria. 

 

Kehinde Oginni, who goes by Kenny, has a story of perseverance that is quite remarkable.  Grew up in Lagos, Nigeria, a place that we knew nothing about until meeting Kenny.  He was set to come to the United States 4 different times on basketball scholarships, just to be denied by immigration each time.  He survived a fatal car crash, where he was the only survivor.  And in a promise to his friends was selected to the NFL's International Pathway Program.  Then, when he finally makes it to the US, he had, what everyone thought, was a career ending injury.  Through vigorous rehab and a spirit that refused to quit, he was signed to play Defensive End by the Atlanta Falcons.  He never lost faith, he never lost his smile, and he simply willed his way back.  After being cut in 2024, he has transitioned into a business owner, founding Formen Underwear.  When it came to asking Kenny to be a RIS ambassador, there was no hesitation.  He has lived everything that RIS represents...a Fighting Heart.
