Early life and education
Career
Blogging
In 2007, Dowdy founded and began writing for The Pen Addict which features weekly updates on stationary news and product reviews. He still manages the website and over time has brought additional writers on-board to write additional content.
Podcasting
In 2010, Dowdy, alongside seasoned expert podcast-world king Myke Hurley, created the Pen Addict Podcast which launched on the 70Decibels network. The podcast focuses on current pen and stationary related topics, with weekly follow-up segments.
After a move from 70Decibels to 5by5 in 2013, it remained on the 5by5 Podcasting Network until 2015 when it joined the newly created Relay FM.
Nock Co.
On September 30, 2013, Dowdy and business partner Jeffrey Bruckwicki launched a Kickstarter campaign with a $5000 goal to create a line of made-in-USA pen cases. After one month, they had raised $78,662 and began production on the initial batch of products to fulfill the Kickstarter campaign rewards. On May 26, 2014, Nock Co. moved into their production facility near Atlanta, Georgia and began the first production run shortly thereafter.
