Duchesne County, Utah — Front Porch

Might be
brilliant.
Might be dangerous.

Either way, you're curious. I'm W. Wade Hood — consultant, constitutionalist, off-grid tinkerer, and the guy who builds the thing everyone said couldn't be built.

Who the hell is he

First things first — I'm a dad and a granddad. That's the top of the stack. Everything else — business, art, chaos, wild projects — is noise compared to that.

I'm a proud member of a national 1% motorcycle club — brotherhood, loyalty, and living outside the lines, written deep. Through the club we back Bikers Against Bullying: Suicide Prevention.

I'm also a stubborn constitutionalist — not the social-media kind. Civil rights, human rights, the stuff they stopped teaching. If that makes me the loud guy at the BBQ, pass the burger. Onions on it.

When I'm not with family or brothers, I'm in the shop, chasing a crazy idea, or running ICL Business Consulting — flipping scripts and kicking doors down for clients tired of the same recycled advice. Think Bar Rescue, minus the TV crew.

The Workshop

Everything I've got my hands in

Nine ventures, one guy who clearly has commitment issues about doing just one thing. Start with ICL — it's the one that pays for the rest of the chaos.

Flagship — Consulting

ICL Business Consulting

Innovative, Creative, Lateral. I don't solve problems the way everyone else does — for scrappy startups and seasoned companies both.
