Donald Driver is a former professional football player, philanthropist, and author known for his illustrious career as a wide receiver with the Green Bay Packers in the National Football League (NFL). Born in Houston, Texas, Driver overcame a challenging childhood marked by periods of homelessness to become one of the NFL's most consistent and respected players. He attended Alcorn State University, where he excelled in both football and track and field, eventually being drafted by the Packers in the seventh round of the 1999 NFL Draft.

During his 14-year career with Green Bay, Driver became the franchise's all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards, earning four Pro Bowl selections and helping the team secure a victory in Super Bowl XLV. Known for his durability, work ethic, and infectious smile, Driver played in 205 regular-season games, cementing his legacy as a Packers legend. He retired in 2013, leaving behind a record-breaking career that endeared him to fans and teammates alike.

Beyond the field, Driver won Season 14 of "Dancing with the Stars" with partner Peta Murgatroyd and is an accomplished author, having penned a series of children's books as well as a memoir, "Driven: From Homeless to Hero," and the health and wellness book "The 3D Body Revolution." A dedicated philanthropist and advocate for underprivileged youth, he founded the Donald Driver Foundation, which focuses on education, health, and wellness initiatives for families in need. He has been recognized with the Community Service Award by the Green Bay Chamber of Commerce, the Walter Payton Man of the Year award in 2002, the Red Smith Award in 2010 and the 2013 AMVETS Humanitarian of the Year.

Donald Jerome Driver was born in Houston, Texas on February 2, 1975. He earned his nickname “Quickie” due to his parents running after him around the house and also because of his quick learning skills. Donald is a Super Bowl Champion, Green Bay’s all- time leading receiver, a Dancing with the Stars Champion, AMVETS Humanitarian of the Year and 2013 New York Times Best Selling Author who overcame homelessness and a challenging childhood to succeed in life.

Recently, during my trip to Disneyland where I attended the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration 2014, I was thrilled to hear Donald speak at our conference. Donald spoke about life, heartache, pain, love, loss and the power of social media. His childhood wasn’t easy, far from it. As a young child he lived out of a U-Haul truck during his early teenage years. He also spent many nights in motel rooms that his mother, Faye, purchased with food stamps for her family. To help support his Mom and siblings, Driver turned to a life of crime which included stealing cars and dealing drugs. As a teenager, Donald was sent to live with his grandmother, Betty Lofton.

In high school, Donald shined as an athlete, lettering four times each in basketball, track, baseball and football. He was a Texas All-State honorable mention in Football where he played defensive back and wide receiver. Donald continued his football career at Alcorn State in Mississippi on an athletic scholarship. He also competed in track where he shined in the high jump and earned all-conference honors during his senior year.

Donald went on to tell us that the best thing he did while at Alcorn State was meeting his future wife, Betina. They married in 2000 and have three children together, a son Cristian, and two daughters, Christina and Charity.
