Is reaching out to former designer at a major company a good idea? And Prototype & Sample question.

I'm in the process of starting my business for an original sports apparel product(s). I had a tech pack created a month ago, and I'm looking at creating a prototype and samples right now.
I have the contact information of a designer that previously worked for a major company and want to reach out to them for advice and possible help. I have an NDA ready for them to sign, I still worry about disclosing my information to someone who was so closely connected to a major company, but nonetheless I think the knowledge I would gain would be invaluable. Should I reach out to this individual?
Also, I've found a manufacturing plant that handles prototypes and samples that's less then two hours away. I understand that samples are free or there's a small nominal fee involved. However, it seem's like prototypes and samples are in a vaguely similar boat. How would one differentiate between a sample and a prototype especially if both are designed from tech pack examples? Do you need a physical prototype in order to have a sample made?
