Our Team
Daniel Kim
President/CEO/Founder
Hello! I’m Daniel, a 16-year-old from Glendale, California, and I founded Field of Futures, inspired by the stories of LeBron James, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Mike Tyson—athletes who rose from poverty to become some of the greatest talents of our time. Their journeys opened my eyes to the countless young athletes who have talent but remain unnoticed due to the barriers they face. Through Field of Futures, my goal is to support underprivileged youth by providing access to sports opportunities, equipment, and funding.

Hey! I’m Joel from Glendale, California. I helped start Field of Futures because I believe every kid deserves a chance to play sports. My favorite sport to watch is basketball, and I love LeBron James! I realized that not everyone has a great opportunity, and I hope Field of Futures can help change that.

Hi, my name is Kalin! I am on the cross country and track & field team, but my love for sports started with field hockey and soccer, where I built a community and thrived in the competition.
