Our History

In 2013, Robert O. Walls and Darrin L. Orr founded Winning Experiences (WE), after immediately identifying with each other's mutual passion for Community  Building  & the importance of Civic Enlightenment for all ages.    

​

WE's purpose was to offer programming throughout the city that transforms thoughts, actions, and communities.

 

For over 10 years, WE's mission has expanded immensely, with a positive impact that can be seen around the world.
