Holloway is a 2002 graduate of The Albany Academy in Albany, New York. Following his academic pursuits, he played college football at Maryland before having an exciting career in the NFL.

His credibility and proven results extend beyond his personal achievements. His father, Brian Holloway, was the captain of the '85 New England Patriots Super Bowl XX team, while his maternal grandfather, 'Pie' McKenzie, won the '70 & '72 Stanley Cups as part of the 'Big Bad' Boston Bruins. This legacy of leadership and success is a testament to the values Holloway holds and shares with his audiences.

Holloway also supports Project Linus by donating a portion of his speaking proceeds to help the cause. Project Linus provides handmade blankets to children in the US who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need, a mission that aligns with Holloway's commitment to giving back to the community.
