About Otis:

Otis Grigsby spends most of his time helping his wife raise two exceptional young children. When he's not making wildly helpful and entertaining parenting content for Parent Like an Athlete, Otis serves as the Director of Growth at Distill Health, a Healthtech marketing agency. Otis is a licensed attorney who spent five years at Taft Law and Pillsbury Law before working at two venture-backed Sports Healthtech companies, Players Health and Oculogica. Before attending law school at the University of Kentucky, Otis hit people for money in the National Football League for over six years, playing defensive end for the Miami Dolphins, Carolina Panthers, and Minnesota Vikings.

But the most important thing to know about Otis is that he loves seeing people grow into better versions of themselves. He loves when a friend comes to know God, gets the amazing job, buys the beautiful new home, or raises awesome kids. Otis loves seeing people who are counted out count themselves in by taking a divine path. https://www.linkedin.com/in/otisgrigsby/
