Incredible night thanks to @francisandthelights and @chancetherapper
I’ve been dreaming about this day for years. First as a fan following the excitement that was the #USMNT’s run at the 2014 #WorldCup. Then when I joined @ussoccer in 2015, this day became my primary focus. We dared to dream up an audacious content plan that would help fans connect with the team and each other in new and deeper ways. . We spent hours, weeks, and months in meetings, preparing pitches, engaging in big conversations, starting to create, traveling around the world, etc. We had a plan in place, and frankly, one I was extremely proud of and excited to execute, regardless of the personal cost. The #WorldCup would be my last hurrah in sports, then I’d take a couple months off, get myself back together, and find new challenges to tackle. Both the plan for the content and my life were perfect. . It turns out God had a different plan. On Oct. 10, 2017, we failed to qualify. With that, every project we planned was trashed. You can’t execute a world class content plan when you aren’t in the World Cup. Then in January, the Lord opened a series of doors that led my to start my own consultancy and I’m loving every minute of it. Seriously, it’s great. . There will always be a part of me that wonders what could’ve been. Instead, you’ll have to trust me. You’d be surrounded by U.S. Soccer everywhere you go today, engaging in players’ stories, watching hours of interactive live programming, connecting with other fans, gathering for exciting watch parties, and so much more. Even if just for a month, we’d have this great nation wrapped around our finger. . Despite all of this, I’m still looking forward to the games. As a soccer fan, there’s nothing better than a #WorldCup. And thanks to the incredible work by my friends at the bid, perhaps we’ll get another shot in 2026. Now let’s watch the world’s game together. . P.S. Here’s every photo of me wearing my favorite jacket I have saved on my phone.
Nearly a year ago, I promised @bkillin7 I’d make it to a @vegasgoldenknights game this season. Disappointed it had to be the last one, but what an incredible atmosphere he, @krisknief9, @clintmccomb and the rest of the team have created in Vegas. Not nearly as fun to be in the stands for the Cup ceremony, but plenty of good memories from ‘15.

This ain’t so bad.
#TBT to the last time I saw Cambria 😍
Apologies to all my fans for hiding my muscle definition under my shirt. #BeLikeKev
My friend @mrmikehayden won mini golf, then played arcade games to win tickets to win chalk to write his name on the high score board AND draw on the sidewalk.
What an eclectic haul. #vinyl
Ever since @thebreathandtheclay, I’ve experienced this persistent desire to create. to draw. to write. to paint. But I’ve also battled this desire to feel like when I create, it has to be for others to enjoy. to appreciate. to affirm. So tonight I busted open my recently acquired child’s water color set and painted. But instead of showing everyone my painting, here’s the paper towel I used to dry my brush. I’ll keep the painting for myself and savor that. Hope you enjoy this rag.
