Austin is a sharp, resilient individual whose strength was forged through early life challenges. Growing up without a father and facing a battle with cancer, he found comfort in football and the Kansas City Chiefs. During his treatments, visits from Chiefs players left a lasting impression, deepening his passion for the team. Remarkably, the doctor who saved Austin's life was the father of former Chiefs Safety Jerome Woods -- Another powerful connection that cemented his bond with Chiefs Kingdom!
Outside the War Room, Austin isn't a husband or a father, but he is a proud dog dad to two Corgis named Kobe & Shaq. He's an avid sports card collector and a true connoisseur of barbecue -- firmly believing that the best BBQ can only be found in Kansas City.
Austin's mission is to share the love and joy of football while raising awareness and support for meaningful causes, charities, and organizations -- just as the Chiefs community supported him during his toughest times.
