AdventAge was born from a deep passion for improving lives, inspired by personal journeys and professional experiences. Co-founders Kenan and Johann bring together a love for seniors and a commitment to empowering youth, creating a unique approach to holistic wellness and recreation.
Kenan’s journey began in high school when he became his grandmother, Grammy Selma’s, primary caregiver. Grammy Selma, who faced multiple health challenges including strokes, dementia, and cancer, relied on Kenan for daily care and companionship. Despite the hardships, Kenan found joy in their shared moments—whether it was driving her to church dressed in his favorite basketball team’s jersey or taking her on outings that brought light to her days. These experiences sparked his commitment to ensuring seniors receive compassionate, personalized care that fosters dignity and joy.
Johann, with a Master’s in Kinesiology and a Ph.D. in Nutrition, and Kenan, with a BSc in Wellness Management, bring a wealth of academic expertise to AdventAge. Their shared experiences as professional basketball players, camp counselors, and youth coaches have taught them the importance of fostering confidence, discipline, and community in the younger generation.
Together, Kenan and Johann are driven by the desire to give back. They’ve created a platform that unites their love for seniors with their dedication to youth development. From tailored recreational programs for seniors to empowering basketball training for youth, AdventAge leverages their knowledge and experiences to make a meaningful impact on every life they touch.
AdventAge is more than a business; it’s a tribute to resilience, connection, and the belief that every stage of life is an opportunity to thrive. Join us in our mission to enrich lives—whether on the court, in the community, or at home.
