Deangelo Ball
Board Member – Citizens of O’Fallon Park Neighborhood Association
My background spans real estate investment, project management, and workforce development—but at the core, it’s always been about people. Whether it’s supporting single fathers, training youth in the trades, or helping returning citizens access new opportunities, I believe strong communities are built by investing in the individuals who live in them.
What Drives Me:
• Empowering families through homeownership, financial literacy, and real estate investment.
• Mentoring the next generation through construction, business, and leadership training.
• Revitalizing communities by converting vacant lots into valuable spaces that serve the people.
If you’re looking to collaborate on community development, mentorship, or investment—I’d love to connect. I am all about building legacy and lasting change.
