The best of both sports and entertainment were fused when this gifted high school athlete began to foster his passion for theater arts. Mullins started his career in entertainment while attending the University of Georgia where he worked as a news reporter for UGA’s radio station. Mullins also held various roles in theater, television, and film during his time at UGA. As the Director of the University Union, he booked events and talent. One of the most exciting events in the Univesity Union’s history was when Mullins created the Fall Fun Fest.

While studying under Henry Holmes at UCLA, Mullins further developed his career as a world-renowned entertainment agent. He began managing NFL players, world champion boxers, PGA TOUR athletes, and film and music talent.
