Geno Segers
Founder
At first glance, Geno's formidable size, impressive athleticism, and deep and sometimes scary voice are what catch people’s attention. However, when you start peeling all that back, you reveal a guy who has always had a genuine love for people. His compassionate nature shows through his work outside of the limelight as an influential motivational speaker.
With Scotty Miller and Michelle McMiller, Geno co-founded "Hold It On The Road" in 2011. Through this foundation, Geno uses motivational speaking to encourage the youth to make good life decisions. By doing this, he is able to help them make positive impacts on their future.

Michelle has always been heavily involved with the community and the youth. Her first encounter began in 1997 when she became a volunteer coach for a local track club by the name of Tri-City Relays. In 2001 she began her own AAU organization and founded The Winston Salem Elite track club; she also served as the President. Her goal was to have an impact on the kids in which would encourage them to reach their maximum potential not only on the field, but in the classroom as well.
Michelle was also involved with the running of the Next Level Youth and Enrichment Program, where she gave input on the teachings and lessons for the youth and the community. In 2006, she encouraged her daughter to start her own non-profit organization, in which she gave the name P.I.N.K. to, which stands for PrimaDonna’s In Need of Knowledge. Michelle served as the club’s liaison and helped coordinate several different events and functions including an Annual Easter Egg Hunt, an annual Crop Walk, and serviced many local schools with supplies and mentorship.
Over time, Michelle’s work and service has earned a number of kids a way into college and a character of self-discipline, respect, and integrity. She now resides in Old Town, North Carolina with her two daughters, and the comfort of knowing that her work paid off.
