Dylan Wilcox   /   A work in progress

Always up for
figuring it out.

Building things. Taking the back roads.
Helping people find their footing.

There's a story here.Keep wandering
Based in Greenville, SC.   Usually curious.
01 / The person behind the tabsA few things about me

Hello, I'm Dylan.

I like making
things possible.

Sometimes that means software. Sometimes it means a bathroom that needs rebuilding. Sometimes it means showing up for four Scouts who need a leader.

I'm happiest when I'm learning how something works or helping someone realize what they're capable of.

Curiosity tends to get me into things.

Good things
happen off
the main road.

Give me a physical challenge, a road trip, or a back road I haven't taken. I like having a plan. I also like seeing where the detour goes.

A little room for the unexpected.That's part of the point.
Outside is a pretty good place to start.
03 / Learn by doingSome assembly required

“I could probably
figure that out.”

A recurring thought.
Occasionally followed
by a trip to the hardware store.

01From flood to a fresh start.

After my house flooded, I redid bathrooms, vanities, and flooring. I like the kind of project that makes me learn something new along the way.

02One more thing to try in Codex.

I love tinkering in Codex. A recent rabbit hole: editing reels for Scouts. Taking a pile of footage and shaping it into something people want to watch is its own kind of building.

03Plans that turn into good days.

I enjoy the behind-the-scenes part, too: helping Scouting units, plotting trips, and figuring out fundraisers. A little planning makes room for a lot of possibility.

04 / Show up. Help them grow.Troop 36 · Restarted in 2022

It started
with showing up.

In 2022, Troop 36's leaders had left. Four Scouts were still there, without anyone to lead them.

I restarted the troop. We grew from four youth to sixteen.

I like seeing
the best
in people.

And being patient while they find it in themselves. That's a big part of what keeps me coming back.
05 / A few things I carryTap a little detail

It's the little
things, too.

You can learn a lot about a person
from the things they keep coming back to.
