(S31) PT 3 - Investments

[TheRocheLimit]

As the end draws nearer and nearer for veteran Jack Banks the thought of "what next?" has come into my mind on a more regular basis. Thankfully I've already taken a number of steps to ensure that my post-playing days will be spent in comfort as well as giving me an opportunity to make a real difference.

As I've talked about before, I've invested in many small businesses throughout the country. The goal is to ensure that these small "mom and pop" shops are able to stand out in a crowded marketplace. I have taken some of the money I've made from these investments and funneled them into charities and scholarship funds both big and small. I have many other investments as well, but these community based projects are the ones that speak to me the most by far.

It is my sincere hope that by continuing this cycle of investing and re-investing in our communities that I can make life a little better not only for me but for those around me as well. It will keep me busy in my post playing days and, more importantly, I'll be doing work that is so much more meaningful than putting a quarterback on his ass (as fun as that is).
