He co-founded CADRE, along with his wife Melanie, in 2011 as a way for elite professionals to learn from the top experts in the world while connecting and developing meaningful relationships with like-minded peers. About Melanie Coburn After 14 years at the Washington Football team, Melanie grew a very diverse network of clients, partners, and friends and focused on building these relationships over time. She firmly believes that by deepening your existing relationships, you ultimately expand your network by cultivating word-of-mouth marketers among these connections. She built the business side of the (formerly known as the Redskins) Cheerleaders from the ground up, as the first person in the NFL to hold this position. With the Cheerleaders, she used to say she was in the business of smiles.
