Morgan’s clients included NFL players Von Miller, Keenan Allen, Cordarrelle Patterson, Reggie Ragland, Josh Norman, Bradly Roby and Jack Conklin.
Morgan began his professional career as a sales representative for Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, a role he held for five years before joining Team Makena Surgical in 2009 as an Orthopedic Sales Consultant.
