Meet the Founders
“When my parents, Dick and Edie Durbin, purchased Adams Market in the late 60s, the people of Salem extended a warm welcome, and gave my family tremendous support, love and friendship throughout the years. This town gave us so much… and now, it feels so good to finally be able to give something in return.”
– Lisa Durbin-Hester
Hometown Heart
Dragonfly Wings was founded by Wes and Lisa (Durbin) Hester to answer the need for teacher and educational support in rural Missouri. Through the years, the military took Wes and Lisa all over the world, but Salem always felt like home. After retirement in 2007, they started a business together, Foxhole Technology, Inc. Over the past 14 years, they built a strong, stable company. Lisa retired in 2021 to spend more time with family, and to pursue their goal to revitalize rural communities – especially those with few jobs and a declining, suitable housing market. Although Wes is still working, he contributes much of his time, energy and expertise to Dragonfly Wings, the Salem R-80 Construction Trades Program, and the Missouri Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (MCCOE), which he founded in 2018.
