Lunch with William

Early February 2007, my friend William Tincup invited me to lunch. Little did I know it would be the beginning of an exciting adventure. William and I have been friends since high school - some 20 years ago. While I have been working retail for the past 18 years, William has ventured into the world of marketing. He owns StarrTincup along with Bret Starr. Anyway, William challenged me that day at lunch. He said, "I know what you CAN do, now tell me what you WANT to do."

I thought for a moment, as I have often of that question, and I came to the honest heart-felt realization that I have always had a passion for learning more about Christ. I have really enjoyed many aspects of what I have done in retail, from Wal-Mart to the Dallas Cowboys and now with the Mavs and Stars at the American Airlines Center. But what I enjoy more than anything else is to get closer to God and learn more about His son - Jesus.

So, William had a great idea. He suggested that I take my experience in merchandising and incorporate it with my passion for Christ. So what we came up with is a Christian based promotional products company called 3N1 Promotions. The idea is to advance God's mission by promoting Christian ministries. We plan to do this by working with the local Christian organizations and providing products to promote their activities. We are also going to show our commitment to these ministries by giving back a portion of our profits from each order.

Stay tuned, we have much more to share about the story of 3N1...
