By the time you’re 29, you’re lucky if you’ve seen three boats up close—of any size. Getting to ride on three boats? You officially qualify as royalty in at least a dozen countries. Owning three boats? A mere mortal you surely are not! Okay, okay, so Sean O’Reilly never owned three boats at once. But […]

The case isn’t closed, but the evidence seems in our favor. For the third year running, Vanguard, Trueline’s legal publication, is a finalist for the FOLIO: Eddie & Ozzie Awards, an awards sought by around 2,000 other publications. Preliminarily recognized for our design and international content for the three-year old publication, we’ll be getting the […]

Brandon Bagley, B-Dawg, is “Jack of All Things TrueLine.” Depending on the day, he’ll jump on a few phone calls, help the production team put finishing touches on a journal or screw the headrest on someone’s chair… Bill! Brandon has an entrepreneur’s mind. He’s run a few different businesses, and he’s created his own path […]

Marcela Zuluaga—soon to be Marcela Carr—does not speak “carpet language,” so it took a while for her to convey all the details to the contractors who will be replacing that gray, stringy stuff on the office floor. We forgive her. It’s not her job to tend to such things as the office renovation; she’s just […]

A family guy, an artist, TrueLine’s art director, and a guy with a hard-to-pronounce last name, Neill Ewing-Wegmann is many things. He even claims to be Batman, a point he will make—with your permission—by pulling down the collar of his probably-colorful T-shirt to reveal a Batman v. Joker scene extensively tattooed on his chest.

That’s when you know it’s gonna be good—just like the stories he writes. “I’ve always been stringing words together,” says Cote, who’s occupied the TrueLine writer’s den since November 2016. […]
