Last weekend Nicole and I made the trip up to Chicago to watch Marcus ride in the first stop of the Dew Tour. We had a blast, and thanks to Marcus I now have the Black Eyed Pea’s “Boom Boom Pow” song stuck in my head. Still. Yes, its still stuck. Thanks, jerk.

Another Greenville favorite, Ryan Nyquist, making some kids happy by signing autographs in between his runs.

Congrats to Marcus for a great finish at the first stop. He took home 3rd, a huge hug from a proud mom, 11 year old girls screaming his name, and a few new sponsorship offers. Nice job man.

A 24 year old mess.

Ok, so life really isn’t all that messy, but do you ever feel like you are going in 500 hundred different directions without a clear vision of whats going on? Sometimes, that’s me. But lately things are finally beginning to shape up.

For those who don’t know me, allow myself to introduce…myself. I’m Will, a 24 year old hack of a designer, blogger, entrepreneur, business owner, sneaker fanatic, retired skater, somewhat of a BMX rider, and creative. I’m an idea guy. I’ve got a new idea every day. This is both good and bad. Ideas keep me thinking, but most often I’ve got too many of them to actually hack away at any of them and really develop a solid plan. So what do I actually do? I currently own a small creative agency. Websites, logos, branding, print materials, the whole 9 yards. I wouldn’t say I LOVE doing it, but its a source of income. For now, it’s just me and it will probably stay that way for a while. In my spare time, and what I’m most passionate about, I’m starting an apparel line. I’ve been lucky enough to meet some incredibly talented individuals who pedal a BMX bike for a living. The time has finally arrived for me to give that a solid shot. More info to follow shortly.

Why start a blog? Why not? For the most part I don’t do an insane amount of fun things, but when I do, I plan to blog about them. I’ll keep you updated on what its like to start, own, and run a business. I’ll update you on my travels, so far I plan to hit Portland, OR, Salt Lake City, Utah, and Orlando, FL over the next 4 months. You’ll also see the conception of fourcast, the clothing line.

Stay tuned…
