Temeko Holness is passionate about mentoring after seeing the impact it has had in his own life. Temeko's parents are from Jamaica and settled in the Youngstown area, where Temeko was a 3 sport athlete for Struthers High School. He came to Canton to play football for Malone University, ultimately earning his undergraduate degree in political science from Clarion University. But his Canton connections drew him back and he earned his MBA from Walsh University in May 2021. Temeko is resident director at Malone University, where he leads the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He is a substitute teacher for Canton City Schools and a licensed independent care specialist for the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities. He is also an active member of 3rd Street Community Church.
