Global Genius was founded by Royce Clayton to fulfill his dream of helping professional athletes realize their full potential and to meet the desire of their fans for greater interaction. He believes that a professional athlete’s successful career can create the platform for ongoing success that includes personal expansion by the athlete-celebrity into entertainment and movies, personally branded apparel and accessories, signature wine offerings that reflect the athlete’s own unique style, community involvement, and real estate and business initiatives that both reflect and benefit from the athlete’s own desires and personal image.

"When I met him, he was a young man with promise. He has matured into a very conscientious, very learned man. Royce is going to be a success no matter what he does. That’s because he’s going to put his time and effort and energy to research and give himself the best possible chance to succeed. He’s easy to like. He’s very consistent in his demeanor and personality, which makes it easy to be around him and to do business with him. He’s the same person all the time. There aren’t many people like that."
DUSTY BAKER, Major League Baseball Manager -
"Royce is a good guy. He’s a friend and a really good friend. I’ve known him ever since he was a young kid. I’ve had the opportunity to watch him grow into a man and be a professional baseball player for some 15-plus years. He’s a very honest person and very positive. He has a lot of goodwill. He wants to give back and he doesn’t do it because of the publicity. He does it because he wants to do it. And Royce's support is not limited to the professional sports world alone – it extends into the business and philanthropic world as well."
CHARLES 'CHILI' DAVIS, Former Major League Baseball Player -

Royce was the first professional athlete to endow a Jackie Robinson Foundation college scholarship, setting a high standard for athlete philanthropy."
LLA BRITTON BAEZA, Jackie Robinson Foundation president and CEO -
"Royce has been a great friend and teammate over the years, and winning the 2007 World Series with him and the Red Sox was a sensational feeling. He played great baseball, and now he’s making great waves in the business and entertainment worlds. He has always been a winner, and he always will be."
