I am Glenn “Coach D” Dumas—a passionate mentor, educator, and inspirational singer dedicated to uplifting young adults and helping them find their purpose. My journey began as a high school business teacher and coach, where I spent 25+ years guiding students toward successful careers. Alongside my work in education, I’ve had the honor of performing the National Anthem at major sporting events for over 30 years, using my voice to inspire and connect with audiences nationwide.
Now, I’ve combined my love for mentorship, music, and career coaching into a transformational reality show concept: Ride Along with Coach D. My mission is to take young adults with untapped potential on a journey of self-discovery—helping them uncover their strengths, explore career pathways, and connect with mentors who can change their lives.
Whether through television, music, or public speaking, my goal is to empower and uplift people—showing them that with the right guidance and support, they can break barriers and build a future they’re proud of. My craft is impacting lives through storytelling, mentorship, and music, and I am excited to connect with others who share a vision for positive, transformational content.
