Teen-Turned-Entrepreneur Has Favorite ‘Subject’
Turning a longtime passion into a business is fairly common. But for skateboarder Corey Worrell, it happened earlier than most.
The 16-year-old Colfax High junior has created Subject Skateboards, a home-based company that makes and sells boards, T-shirts, hats and buttons.
Corey’s interest in skateboarding began when he got his first board, at age 6. “I really got into it at about 12,” he said. It was also around that time he started thinking about starting his own business.
He sells his products through his Web site, and at Boards N Motion in Auburn and The Riders Union board shop in Colfax. Many of his customers find him through friends and word-of-mouth
He gets a lot of encouragement from friends, as well as his family.
“They think it’s great,” he said. “They’ll buy stuff to help support the business and they give me ideas for designs and logos.”
