After his first game of Ultimate in 1999 and struggling to organise local games, Wolf decided to make the availability of Ultimate one of the factors in his choice of location. Since 2004 he has played Ultimate in Europe (Sweden, Switzerland, Norway) and in Asia (India, Singapore) and been fortunate to be able to participate in tournaments at across the globe at all levels from fun tourneys to world championships. The community is what makes Ultimate special and SOTG is what creates the community. Wolf's views on SOTG had been reinforced by his time involved in building India's Ultimate community: Seeing how Ultimate and SOTG more than any sport teach (young) minds about conflict resolution, responsibility and not winning at all cost inspires how Ultimate can change mindsets, behaviour and thus society for a better. He's been an active member for the SOTG committee since 2018, aside from his involvement in Beach Ultimate and organising teams. His goal is to make sure that SOTG survives as an integral and reliable part of the game as the sport gets more popular and more professional. Professionally, Wolf is working as a product, system and organisations architect tackling the exciting challenges and opportunities that a globalised and digitalized world creates. He graduated a software architect from Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences (AUT) and an interaction designer from Chalmers University of Technology (SWE).
