Will McCants

Will began his professional career at MSI-Viking Gage in 2012 as a shipping assistant. He quickly took over the company's used equipment operation and built it into a standalone Equipment Recovery and Sales department, growing a one-person desk into a four-employee team with national market presence. The group bought, refurbished, and resold industrial calibration and metrology equipment to customers across the country.

In 2018, Will was promoted to Applications Engineer, specializing in ZEISS Optotechnik 3D scanning systems, scan-to-CAD reverse engineering, and custom fixturing built with additive manufacturing. During this same period he earned his FAA Part 61 Private Pilot Certificate and taught himself CAD modeling and computer programming, all while working full-time.

In 2020, Will relocated to the mountains of North Carolina to take on the Senior Engineer role at PRC Industries, an Amazon remanufacturing partner operating out of the former Henredon Furniture facility in Spruce Pine, a one-million square-foot campus. PRC processes returns and restores defective products for major brands and retailers, everything from refrigerators and vacuums to sporting goods, with a team of engineers diagnosing product flaws through total disassembly and reverse engineering.

At PRC, Will wrote remanufacturing procedures, reverse-engineered replacement parts, and collaborated with outside engineering teams on client projects. The role sharpened his ability to diagnose unfamiliar hardware quickly, a skill that carries directly into the work WildTech does today.

He lived in a log cabin in Little Switzerland, North Carolina during this season, where he developed a deep love for nature and solitude that still shapes how he works and lives today.

Will founded WildTech Ventures, LLC in 2024 as a private software and technology company. The company launched on February 1, 2024 with the release of Spirits of Charleston, a ghost story iOS app for the Lowcountry. Within the first year, the portfolio grew to include Spirits of Savannah, EZ Fuse Tester, and two larger ventures: Churchd, a community platform built for churches, and a growing roster of native iOS applications on the App Store.

In 2026, Will co-founded Viking Sensors with Steven Archibald, a precision climate monitoring venture distributed through MSI-Viking Gage. Beyond his own products, Will and WildTech also build custom software and hardware solutions for clients.

His nieces and nephews call him “Gadget”, because there is always a project on the workbench, a 3D printer running, or some piece of technology being taken apart and put back together. That same restless curiosity is what drives WildTech.

WildTech Ventures grew out of the same mindset that has defined Will's entire career: see a problem, understand it deeply, and build something that fixes it. Every product in the WildTech portfolio started as a real problem that did not have a good enough solution.

Will met Brittany in the summer of 2022. They bonded quickly over their shared love for nature and their faith in Jesus, and were married on the Hawaiian island of Maui in 2024. Will and Brittany currently reside on James Island, South Carolina, where they are active members of Harbor View Presbyterian Church.

At Harbor View, Will volunteers on the handicap ramp building committee, hosts quarterly men's dinners, and plays guitar in the weekly worship service alongside Brittany, who sings in the choir.

When he is not building software, hardware, or businesses, Will spends his time behind a camera, playing guitar, hiking, or camping somewhere in the Lowcountry. He still holds his private pilot certificate, though these days the flying is mostly for fun.
