From the playing fields of Lompoc High School, along the Central Coast in California, Napoleon Kaufman in 1991 won a full scholarship to play football for the Huskies of The University of Washington. Upon finishing his senior year with the Huskies, the then two-time All-American and Heisman Trophy candidate became a first round draft pick for the Los Angeles Raiders. In 1994 Napoleon Kaufman began a professional football career that would span 6 years and would catapult him to elite status as a “premier” NFL running back. The athletic superstar from Lompoc, California had “made it” to the big time and was living the “dream” of every young boy who has ever played the game of football.
Sunday afternoons on the playing fields of the NFL did not hold the passion of Napoleon Kaufman for long however. In response to the call of God in 2000, Napoleon retired from profession football and today is the Senior Pastor of The Well Christian Community in Dublin, California, under the Spiritual covering of GateWate City Church in San Jose, California. The vision that God placed on the heart of Pastor Kaufman remains firmly rooted today as God continues to grow the ministry of The Well, both in breadth and depth.
