The Harvard graduate moved to New York City after graduation and found himself restless by the sedentary and hierarchical lifestyle of the corporate world. As a lifelong athlete and former Division I lacrosse player, Terry was determined to build a brand that represented a healthier way of life.

Through this, WOLACO's signature style, the North Moore, was born. The original 9” compression short featured first-of-its-kind sweat-proof compressive pockets designed for storing a phone and valuables during exercise. The product launched in 2014 with a Kickstarter campaign that exceeded its funding goal by 400%. Since then, WOLACO has developed their collection to a full offering of men’s and women's performance apparel and capitalized on their loyal base of evangelical customers. The business has continued to grow impressively behind a strategy that is centered around building community organically and scaling their relationship with a highly engaged customer base.
