Intellectual Athlete explores the intersection, connection, and correlation of life through the lens of sport, creativity, and identity cultivation. IA is a hidden archetype, creative studio, framework ecosystem, self practice, global community rebelling from societal and normative conformity, and space for ethical communication and media representation. Timeless excellence isn’t a goal, it’s the standard.

This platform is for those historically excluded, disadvantaged by gatekeeping, overlooked and often don’t have a voice in places to make transformative change in their community. Nothing is done alone, and we’re better when we work together for a common goal empowering others to shine their light. When the really we seek isn’t visible, it’s our duty to imagine and make it a reality. Together we rise.

As a first generation college graduate,  globetrotter (20+ countries and counting), former tech recruiter, art director, artist, youth mentor and coach - my life paths and experiences have significantly informed and expanded my global perspective. I've been lucky to work with world renowned agencies, award winning startups, and accomplished professional sports organizations. This life journey has allowed a curated network of cultural leaders and disruptors who share the vision of serving others as a life practice.

IA moves with its own frequencies, holds its own rules, and connects the often unconnected. This is the playground inside the mind of the amorphous Greg Plater - former pro athlete, multi-hyphenate creative, and student of life. Deny clout-based hype, absorb the soul.
