How a burned-out engineer became the guy the Minnesota Historic Society calls for their grandest windows.
You know how some people stumble into the perfect line of work? That's what happened to Rick Wren back in 2003. For years he'd worked as an Automation & Controls Engineer, growing less satisfied with 100-hour weeks and living out of a suitcase in dingy factory towns.
Knowing he needed a change, he quit and tried a few different things: designing exhibits at the Science Museum of Minnesota, building sets and installing lighting for local theaters. Fun, but not quite his own thing.
As an income supplement, he began washing windows, and immediately fell in love with the work. It appealed to his sense of perfection and love of accomplishment, and his clients turned out to be some of the most interesting people in the Twin Cities.
Wren Windows took off. Before long Rick called his brother, then living in Idaho: “Come help me, I'm swamped with work.” They worked as a team for years, and today each Wren brother runs his own crew.
