Tre James
Founder & CEO
My name is Tre James, and I am the CEO and founder of Intelligent Children Underrated, LLC. Originally from Baltimore, MD, I recently relocated to Utah with my wife and four children. Growing up in a community that was plagued violence, drugs, and crime, witnessed many friends and family members make poor choices, nearly becoming a victim myself. Choosing to pursue football allowed me to travel and play at the collegiate level in Utah and Toledo, Ohio, where I earned a bachelor's degree in psychology. I believe my experiences shaped who I am today and likely saved my life. After my professional football career, I wanted to give back to the youth and establish a business that empowers underrated children to overcome the odds. I have been a Certified Peer Support Specialist for about four years now, and I have enjoyed every experience. The youth are underrated, and I look forward to continuing to show others that every young person has a chance for a better life.

Atlas Armstrong
PSS/Supervisor
Originally from Kansas City, Missouri, I moved to Utah at a young age and grew up navigating the DCFS system. Having been in the system myself, I know firsthand what it feels like to move between many different homes and witness others take the wrong path. Those experiences fueled my passion for supporting the youth in my community. Whether I am coaching wrestling or mentoring, I have always done my best to provide the guidance and stability that every young person deserves. Now, as a Family Peer Support Specialist (FPSS) and Supervisor, I am dedicated to using my journey to help others overcome their obstacles and find their own path to success. I believe that with the right support, every youth has the potential to thrive.

Emmanuel Vincent
Peer Support Specialist
My name is Emmanuel Vincent. I was born in Cairo, Egypt, and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. Growing up, I didn’t always have the guidance I needed, which helped me understand the importance of having someone in your corner. This is what led me to become a Peer Support Specialist. I strive to be the support I once needed by helping youth build confidence, develop life skills, and make positive choices. I also do this work for my family, who motivate me to lead by example every day.

Mady Cano
Peer Support Specialist
Growing up in Layton, Utah, I was always getting into trouble in school and often felt like no one took the time to understand why. Navigating those challenges without feeling heard helped me realize the importance of having someone in your corner, which ultimately led me to become a Peer Support Specialist. I firmly believe that everyone deserves a fair chance at life and that what happened in your past doesn’t define you or your future. Whether I’m coaching wrestling or being a mentor, I strive to be the support I once needed by helping youth build confidence, shape bright futures, and realize their full potential.

Keianu Jameson
Peer Support Specialist
Growing up in Davis County, Utah, I faced my own challenges and struggles with the law as a teenager. Fortunately, I had people in my corner who supported me, held me accountable and helped me get my life on the right track. That experience shaped who I am today and inspired my passion for giving back. Now, I am dedicated to being that same positive support system for others; helping young people make good decisions, overcome obstacles and improve their situations. I truly believe that with the right guidance, anyone can turn their life around.
