Dzombak's first experience managing was with his rock band in high school.

[8]He was the one who booked shows, including some that were out of the Pennsylvania state area.

When he got to college, he was a promoter, which he did not enjoy at all. [8]

In 2007, Will booked Wiz Khalifa to perform at a benefit concert at Penn State University. Unable to secure a hotel room for Wiz at the time, Wiz stayed at Will’s apartment that weekend. After quickly becoming friends, Will began managing his tours. A few years later, Wiz Khalifa started gaining international stardom. [12]
