“[Pressure washing] became one of my passions,” Wynn said. “Just seeing the smile on other people’s faces after I did their home ... brings me joy because I’m doing something that makes someone else feel good.”
Along with real estate and pressure washing, Wynn’s life as a retired football player revolves around his family.
“When I was playing football, it was always practice, practice, practice. Then, I’d go home and see the kids for a moment and go to sleep,” he said. “But now, it’s been one of the greatest things just being able to be more hands-on with my family.”
Football is still a part of Wynn’s life. He coaches his son’s football team.
“Coaching my kids during football has been one of the most amazing feelings,” Wynn said. “I’m just so happy to see their hard work paying off for them.”
Wynn said coaching is what brought football back into his life.
“My boys are very passionate about [football], so I need to be hands-on with them and make sure they’re getting the proper training, and doing that is what led me back to football,” Wynn said.
On occasion, Wynn misses certain aspects of football.
“I miss my teammates—just getting together and achieving a goal that we set as a team,” Wynn said, while also listing the benefits of his retirement from football.
“When I was playing football, I was so focused on just making the team, doing the right thing, making sure I was on top of everything when it comes to football,” he said. “Now, I have the chance to turn that same energy and be dedicated to my family. That’s one of the biggest things I love about being retired.”
Wynn’s goal is to have the No. 1 pressure washing company in North Georgia.
