Back in the USA!

Back in the US, back in the US, back in the USA! We just arrived to Bandon Dunes, Oregon. I had a photo of the “Welcome to USA” sign when going through customs in Vancouver until two officers came over and said I had to delete it or else I would be arrested. I decided to delete the photo!

We had a couple hour layover in Portland, so I decided to use that opportunity to continue to work on follow-up media interviews with the ones I set up while on the trip. So far, I have confirmed a follow up TV interview with WBAY-TV in Green Bay and the Evans Scholars foundation will be featuring me and the WITW adventure once its newly designed site goes live end of this month. I will be following up with Fox47 TV in Madison and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel newspaper as well.

We have a full day of golf tomorrow. I have heard many great things about Bandon Dunes and am really excited to play. Also, I just watched the latest video and looks like the ice putting with the hockey players didn’t make the final cut.

Final WITW Ad/Campaign Idea, Donation Promo Complete and Using Myself as a Billboard

Today is our last international day on the Wear in the World adventure. Over the last 50 days, I have demonstrated the great adidas equipment, created ads and product videos, managed outdoor contests/events, convinced an award-winning sand sculptor to create the adidas logo and held a charity promotion.

What I haven’t shown yet is a campaign concept for adidas Golf’s social media if I win the WITW adventure and a job with adidas. Without further ado, here is my first idea with the opening viral video…
