Anthony Johnson played football from high school through an 11-year NFL career. Today, he’s the Jacksonville Jaguars’ chaplain, and possibly the most low-key former NFL player you’ll ever meet. He’s an Indiana native who went to Notre Dame on a scholarship. He had, at that time, a single focus to his life: “Playing football, my passion since I was young,” He says, “I played through high school and was good enough to get a football scholarship to Notre Dame. I graduated in 1990 and was drafted in the second round by the Indianapolis Colts.” Anthony played 11 seasons as a running back for five different NFL teams. The last was the Jaguars, which he joined for the 2000 season before retiring. “During the course of that time, I had the opportunity to be impacted by the chaplains on several different teams,” he says. “Seeing the impact they had on me when I was playing was part of what encouraged me to take the opportunity to do the same.” The need for an NFL chaplain is not well understood

Margie Seaman is from New York, and might have stayed there forever had not circumstances intervened. "I grew up in an era where people didn't move,” she said. “My mother played in a tennis game, with the same six women, for over 50 years. My parents lived in their house for 55 years, and I guess I thought that their house was like the one that I would live in for 55 years."

Stacy Moseley is a Jacksonville native who grew up in the Avondale neighborhood. After college, she knew she wanted to go somewhere else for a while. “I went to Kenyon, a small liberal arts college in Ohio,” she said. “That was the school I got accepted to that was the furthest away! I got a B.A. in Fine Arts.”

Carla Morello moved to Jacksonville Beach from New York as a child. She wasn't an athlete. But she had a career goal. "I thought I was supposed to be a nurse,” Morello said. “I did that for a little while, then realized I didn't like it, didn't want to do it anymore. I went for a shift one night and turned around and came home. My husband said, 'what are you going to do?' I said, 'I have no clue, but give me a day to think about it and I'll figure it out.' I just made a list of what I like to do, and what I liked to do most was exercise. So I became a fitness trainer and aerobics instructor." Morello worked as a trainer at a number of fitness centers and resorts in the area. Then an injury opened her eyes to yet another health-related profession — massage therapy.

Danielle Rivers' life has turned out quite differently than what she'd expected when she moved to Jacksonville a few years ago. "I'm originally from Washington. I came down here about 10 years ago to look for real estate deals for investors," Rivers said. "I love real estate. I thought it was what I was going to doing for the rest of my life." It wasn't. In 2011, Rivers was assaulted. "I was jogging down on the Riverwalk when I was attacked by a homeless guy," Rivers said. Rivers fought him, and he pulled a knife. She was stabbed 25 times. She survived, and appeared in court to testify against him.
