    All entrepreneurs share a unique drive and insatiable curiosity that is the foundation upon which they start businesses, build legacies, and have a lasting impact on theworld. Rhett Power and Peter Gasca shared this ambition, which in 2007 led them to resign from lucrative consulting jobs with tremendous professional freedom to start their first company together, Wild Creations.

    Just a year later, the worst economic recession in a generation, the Great Recession, paralyzed the global economy and caused many business owners tofold. In the face of overwhelming odds and in true entrepreneurial form, Power and Gasca were able to persevere with a great deal of creativity, common sense, and,ultimately, sheer determination.

    Within two years, Wild Creations grew to be recognized by the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce as the fastest-growing company in the state and by Inc. Magazine as one of the 500 fastest-growing companies in the U.S.
