Asley and Jose are best friends.

As Noble Sheep, they speak to help students become great leaders. Their faith inspires them to live with purpose daily. Their passion for this work stems from years of working in schools. Both of their stories echo the power of resilience, leadership, and hope.

In 2019, Noble Sheep started speaking in their local classrooms to motivate students. Small classrooms led to speaking at conferences, and the rest is history!

Noble Sheep now inspires thousands of students yearly to be and do their best. Students love the energy they bring, and how relatable they are!
