2024 Apogee Honoree: Henri Crockett

Meet Henri Crockett, CEO of the Crockett Foundation Inc

As a young person, mentorship had a profound impact on Henri Crockett’s life, shaping the path he would eventually take. When Crockett was drafted into the NFL, he knew he wanted to give back in a meaningful way. That led to the creation of Team 94, named after his jersey number. As Crockett neared retirement and prepared to return to his hometown of Pompano Beach, Crockett transformed that effort into what is now the Crockett Foundation. The Foundation’s mission is to build character, develop leaders, and improve communities. Through its after-school programs, the nonprofit focuses on bridging the digital gap in underserved areas while exposing youth to a variety of careers. It’s important to Crockett that young people not only learn about these opportunities but also see themselves in them by connecting with individuals who look like them and share their backgrounds. His goal has always been to inspire them to dream bigger and take control of their futures, just as he was once inspired. This recognition isn’t just a reflection of my journey but a celebration.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
