Ten years, wow…. It really does feel like just yesterday. Four of us met at an all night Chinese food spot in my old neighborhood and made it official – “Lets do this”! We were ready to rock and roll, literally . Lol, we had no idea what we were in for. Sole Power was born with a loan from my best friend, some cheap DJ equipment that we stored in my mom’s basement, and some really cool jackets (my idea). They were spring jackets and it was wintertime, but the winter jackets were too expensive. So Sole Power began… cold! We were all young, super green, and more wild than I can admit here. But we were passionate. VERY passionate… We shared vision, strategy, concepts, and branding ideas, but most of all we had fun. Lots and lots of fun!

It’s been the ride of our lives, and although some have come and gone (including two of the original four), some have changed careers, some are married with families, some are living on the other side of the world, and sadly one special guy is up in the heavens — we have been and will forever be a SOLE POWER FAMILY.

As I sit back and reflect on my ten year journey in this game, I can’t help but smile thinking about all of the amazing moments we have been a part of. Like the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, our Guinness Book of World Record setting night to raise money for one of our family members who had lost his father, tours around the globe and back, late nights turned into early mornings, and many more visits to that all night Chinese food spot.

But what stands out even more than the moments in time are the incredible people I have met along the way. The people who have inspired me, taught me, mentored me, embraced me, and allowed me to be me. They laughed along at the funniest jokes, and stood by me at the saddest of times. It’s to all of you that I say the most humbled and sincere thank you. Friends, family, staff, clients, peers, co-workers, competitors, partners, and even a few randoms…. THANK YOU.

In a small token of my appreciation I wanted to acknowledge each and every one of you here. I want you to know that with this very small gesture of listing your name — I acknowledge you. I appreciate what you have done with me and for me, I care about you, and so again I say… Thank you!
