"Rooted in Faith, Shaped by Brotherhood, Leading and Counseling with Purpose."

In this Episode 26 of Men Pursuing More, Quincy Davis shares with us growing up in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in a home full of energy, competition, and strong family ties. As one of four brothers raised by a single mother—with a father who served in the military—Quincy learned early on about resilience, responsibility, and the importance of sticking together. He shares what it was like attending Fountain Fort Carson High School, where he and his brothers made their presence felt in athletics. Those experiences, both the highlights and hardships, shaped his path and ultimately led him to play college basketball—first at Adams State and then Presentation College, where he not only continued his athletic journey but also met his future wife.

Quincy’s pursuit of purpose took him into counseling and coaching, earning his master’s degree from Northern State while serving as a graduate assistant. In 2016, he joined Eastview High School as a counselor and coach, helping lead a team to a state championship and mentoring student-athletes along the way. After the heartbreaking loss of his mother in 2021, Quincy continued to lean into his calling, eventually landing a role at Mississippi State as Assistant Director of Counseling and Sports Psychology.

"Resilience, Coaching, and Calling Aligned"

In this episode 22 of Men Pursuing More, Rudy Rodriguez shares his journey from growing up on the south side of Milwaukee to becoming a Special Education teacher and varsity baseball coach at Eastview High School. Rudy opens up about his childhood—attending a Spanish immersion school, navigating life with divorced parents, and finding his early love for sports with a red baseball bat in hand. Influenced by his father’s own baseball career, Rudy’s passion for the game carried him into two seasons of college ball at Anoka-Ramsey, where he battled through injury before transferring to the University of Minnesota. Though an opportunity to catch for the Gophers didn’t pan out, Rudy found renewed love for the game through Club Baseball and discovered his calling in education.

Rudy talks about how teaching and coaching go hand-in-hand, and how his experience working with Special Olympics athletes helped solidify his desire to impact lives both in the classroom and on the field. He shares how a chance encounter at a job fair led him to District 196, and how he's now thriving as a coach and teacher at Eastview High School. From the lessons learned in adversity to the joy of mentoring young athletes, Rudy’s story is a powerful reminder of how purpose can be found through perseverance—and how one man’s journey can inspire the next generation to pursue more.
