About this episode

Leamon Hall, a record-setting quarterback and successful Wall Street executive, shares his journey from Army football to coaching youth sports.

Leamon Hall graduated the USMA in 1978 as the Black Knights' all-time passing leader on game, season, and career levels and virtually re-wrote Army's passing record book during his three-year career as a starter. Leamon Hall still holds the standard for single-game passing (385 yards) and in career touchdown passes (38). He was inducted into the Army Sports Hall of Fame in 2020. After serving in the US Army, Leamon briefly played professional football and then launched a lengthy successful career on Wall St. joining IBM’s Financial Services Industry organization. He became a Trader for Lehman Bros. and then moved on to Merrill Lynch, serving as a VP in the prestigious Institutional Sales and Trading organization. In 1996, Leamon returned to IBM as an executive forging alliances with IBM’s strategic business partners providing software solutions.  He is recently retired, living with his family in the Atlanta, GA area and continuing his 20+ years of coaching youth athletic teams in football (no surprise there) and baseball.
