One of Florida’s fastest growing companies, MY Shower Door, last week announced that it has officially signed University of Michigan rising freshman football player Peter Simmons III to represent the MY Shower Door brand. Simmons III is the son of Peter Simmons II, the former Mayor of Bonita Springs, and a proud Bishop Verot alumnus.

MY Shower Door may be the first in Florida to sign a college athlete since the NCAA announced its new rule that went into effect as of July 1, 2021, allowing college athletes to monetize their name, image and likeness.

“We are proud to partner with Peter Simmons III to promote our brand and more importantly to continue our mission of supporting youth entrepreneurism and sports,” said MY Shower Door co-owner Bill Daubmann. Daubmann added, “Our team at MY Shower Door is excited to follow Peter’s college football career with the Wolverines and proud to have him representing our company.”

Simmons III was an offensive lineman for the Bishop Verot Vikings and a 2021 graduate of the school located in Fort Myers. After receiving numerous college offers, the 6-3, 305-pound Simmons III committed to the University of Michigan Wolverines Nov. 26, 2020. Now a freshman with the Wolverines, Simmons III looks forward to a stellar career in the Big 10.

“This is such an exciting time for college athletes, and I am honored to represent MY Shower Door during my college football career with the Wolverines,” said Simmons III. “I think it is great that the NCAA now allows college athletes to be rewarded and compensated for our name and likeness. It is very exciting to have our hard work and dedication over the years recognized. As the fourth consecutive generation to attend the University of Michigan, and having my great grandfather being part of the team that dug the hole for the ‘Big House’ in the 1920s, this truly is a dream come true,” concluded Simmons III.

The Daubmann family who owns MY Shower Door / D3 Glass, has been instrumental in developing and supporting high school mentorship and internship programs in Southwest Florida. The company recently hosted the region’s inaugural Workforce Signing Day celebrating several dozen high school graduates who officially signed on to work with top companies in the area after graduating and completing internships.
