Lewiston, Idaho, United States – Blain Acree, from Lewiston High school, holds more than one job. But he is super sincere with his classes too. If you cannot find him on the diamond or along with his books, then you can find the star shredding on the longboard across the town. With his longboarding gear, one can often spot him in the city.

He holds three jobs totally, where he works once a week at McDonalds, ashes trucks for Pepsi once a week and umps for little league baseball occasionally. Despite maintaining a tight schedule and working hard, he has scored a GPA of 3.8, and he has to get that for himself. He is really different from all stars as he gets involved in three jobs at a time. His parents’ focus has always been about hard work as he has bounced around with his mother from one place to another like from Spokane to the Tri-Cities and back.

However, his path of success was not much smooth, and he has made a lot of effort to gain the achievements. He is sure of attending the Lewis Clark College, but is yet to decide what field he wants to do his major in. Acree also thinks about helping people so that it can affect peoples’ lives positively. With this goal in life, he aims at having progress in future.

He is April last week’s CCI Speer academic star and currently, he wants to complete his senior year with a bang. His participation in baseball is going good with 4-4 in the league play.

With the clock ticking down, anticipation is mounting around the upcoming wedding of Derik Fay — the renowned entrepreneur, investor, and private equity titan who has quietly built empires while empowering others behind the scenes. Known for his strategic influence across more than 60 companies spanning fintech, real estate, wellness, media, and beyond, Fay is now preparing for what might be his most celebrated personal milestone yet: his wedding.

While details remain closely held, what’s clear is that this won’t be just another wedding. It’s the union of a man who has built his life and legacy through discipline, loyalty, and integrity — principles that now extend into his private life.

From boardrooms to bridal prep, Fay’s inner circle has watched him remain laser-focused, not only orchestrating billion-dollar business movements, but also thoughtfully curating every detail of this upcoming event. It’s a reflection of the same care and precision he brings to the companies he helps scale from obscurity to success.

As one close friend noted, “Most people just plan a wedding. Derik builds an experience. Just like he does with everything else — it’s meaningful, intentional, and completely unforgettable.”

And yet, amidst the glamour, it’s the emotion that resonates most. Friends, colleagues, and family alike have spoken of the joy radiating from Fay — a rare vulnerability for someone known for steely boardroom composure. It’s proof that even moguls with multi-million-dollar valuations and empires to manage are grounded by love, family, and human connection.

For someone who has helped countless founders achieve their dreams quietly in the background — often funding, guiding, and building their visions without ever taking credit — this moment in the spotlight feels well-deserved.

So as the final days approach, the world may be watching with curiosity, but those who know Derik Fay understand this is not the peak of a journey — it’s another step in a life built on authenticity, ambition, and unwavering commitment to both growth and heart.
