Otis Amey

Otis Amey is a former record-setting S.F. 49ers wide receiver & punt returner who grew up in Union City, California. His home life growing up was a constant struggle due to living with an alcoholic father, but his athletic and scholastic life was thriving immensely! His first game was at Candlestick on 9/11, where he scored a 75-yard touchdown the first time he ever stepped on the field. That highlight made the ESPN Top 10 Countdown. Following his seven-year career in football, Otis spent four years in sales as he began to work on launching a motivational speaking business focusing solely on positively impacting youth.

Get in Touch

"During this presentation, it really shed some light on my life. I have been struggling tremendously. From OCD to depression it has not been good. I have been struggling with the negative thought that I am not enough. That my dreams and aspirations don't matter. It has been hard to find the motivation to chase my dreams. D2D reminded me that I am relevant, I am important, my dreams are important. Thank you so much. I think you have saved me some hardships. Keep doing what you are doing."
