Darius Lewis

Founder/Director/Father

Darius is the father of Darielle, Darius Jr., and Daniel, who enjoys raising alongside his wife and high school sweetheart Danielle. He is also the owner of several businesses, a sport performance coach, a personal trainer, and the Director of MADE Student Athletics and the MADE Student Athletic Foundation.

Born and raised in Detroit, MI to Christen Percy and David Lewis, Darius attributes much of his success to the foundation set for him by his parents and family. In 2009 he graduated Cum Laude from Stevenson High School in Sterling Heights, MI. He then went on to earn a Bachelor degree in Kinesiology from Michigan State University, and then shortly after, a Master's Degree in Sport Management from EMU.

In 2014 Darius founded the MADE Student Athletic Foundation (formerly Detroit MADE) with the mission of helping youth in underserved communities in the fight against "athletication". In 2015 he formed MADE Student Athletics, LLC, a sport performance training company designed to promote holistic student-athlete development in youth athletes aspiring to become collegiate student-athletes. Since its inception MADE has expanded its services to include holistic health and fitness development for current and aspiring exercisers.

When Darius is not in the gym, playing basketball, or working on one of his business ventures, his favorite thing to do is spend time with his wife and kids.

Darius plans to build an empire that will be passed down to his children and set the stage for generational wealth. For he believes as it says in Proverbs 13:22, "A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children."
