DeMoine Adams - TeamMates
DeMoine Adams spoke to Lincoln East Rotary Club about TeamMates.  DeMoine was born in Arkansas, came to Nebraska to attend the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and play football.  He played football at UNL for three years and earned his degree, besides he learned to be a mentor to a student during those three years.  After graduation, he went to play football in the NFL, thought that he might return to the South, but instead returned to UNL to earn another degree and married a Nebraskan.  They have four children.  His wife is a mentor for TeamMates.
 
TeamMates was started 34 years ago by Tom and Nancy Osborne.  Today TeamMates is in five states, where Nebraska is the largest.
