Founded by Chris Moeller and Brian Ardinger, Quest-4 was created as a means of helping people discover their path to personal greatness while providing the insights and inspirations to help them follow it.

Quest-4 came about because of the gnawing feelings in our own lives that despite our outward success there was a more meaningful path that we should be taking. At the time, we were two fairly "successful" individuals, living and working in Asia. Chris was on assignment designing CD-ROMs, web sites, and promotional pieces for a number of Asian businesses. Brian was a senior marketing consultant at a leading technology advisory company. We had excelled at traveling down what society would have described as the "correct path" towards money, travel, even a bit of fame.

But something was missing. Something that kept telling us that there were other things to do, places to see, people to meet, lives to live, and opportunities to investigate. We began to question the meaning of success, happiness, and the paths people choose to reach these goals and the role society plays on these choices? We began asking our friends, peers, and colleagues. Nearly everyone we spoke with could relate to this quest for greatness and the struggles with finding the "right" path on which to travel.

What we found was that we were not alone. A confusion permeated the lives of most of our young counterparts: the friend who went back to get an MBA because it was the next "logical" step up a corporate ladder she didn't want to be on; the colleague who took the promotion in a job he hated simply to earn more money; and the person who gave up their dream fearing others would think them crazy for pursuing it.

We decided to pursue a quest to explore greatness in America by identifying and talking to people who were on a path to personal success--people who have found happiness in what they do and who they are.

More importantly, we wanted to develop an outlet to share these ideas, dreams, and success stories. The result is a project we call Quest-4. It has become a project dedicated to exploring and participating in life and sharing the results with others in order to help people reach their highest potential. The quest will include an interactive web site chronicling our journey and findings along the road, as well as a book to be published following the trip. Along the road we will interview young, successful individuals and share the inspirations with all those interested. We encourage all to participate and enjoy with us the amazing opportunities that the world offers.
