“Living a life of design and eccentricity alone would never be enough without actively assisting the communities that saved me. At Wild En Wol, we have emphasized skills training rather than hiring the skilled and so leaving our staff positions open to those who truly need and want it, accommodating their positions. Our team thus far has consisted of single mothers, evicted teenagers, those in recovery, cult escapees, and victims of domestic abuse. 

Although this approach has not always benefited the company and is far from the first thing that comes to mind when considering financial success, I can confidently say I have saved someone’s life, which is something I take more pride in than saying, ‘I’m just a software engineer.’

Although I took several different turns, I still ended up back in George, improving the town rather than resenting it for the reasons I wanted to leave.” – Inge
