Reec Swiney was born in Montclair, New Jersey. His parents separated when he was young, so he was able to experience two unique parenting styles which Reec believes equipped him to be the successful father and businessman that he is today. Reec grew up loving basketball, and he moved to Atlanta to attend college and pursue his dream of making it into the NBA. However, during his time as an athlete, Reec was allowed to learn about sports media and broadcasting. He fell in love with giving interviews and creating space for people to share their stories. 

Outside of business, Reec splits his time between his family and volunteering with the nonprofit, Positive American Youth, Inc. (PAY). It is an organization for underprivileged youth that provides educational experiences and resources for schools, students, and parents.
