Hi, I’m Eric Wages.

For 15 years, I was deeply embedded in my career at Google—leading teams, building infrastructure, and growing a network of people who knew me as Eric Wages: Googler. What I didn’t realize at the time was how much of my professional identity was tied to a single email address: wages@google.com.

Then one day, I woke up, and it was gone.

No warning, no transition—just 15 years of connections, conversations, and professional credibility erased overnight. My email wasn’t just an inbox. It was how I stayed in touch, how I kept opportunities open, how people found me. Losing it meant losing a critical part of my professional life.

And I’m not alone.

I see this happening constantly—colleagues, friends, and now, hundreds of thousands of professionals being let go in massive industry layoffs. Every single one of them has to start over, scrambling to rebuild their networks, reaching out with cold emails, hoping people remember them.

It shouldn’t be this way.

That’s why I built email4.life—to make sure your professional identity is yours forever. A career-proof, permanent email address that ensures you’re always reachable, always in control, and never starting from scratch again.

I spent years at Google focused on keeping user data safe. I ran Google's third-largest data center campus, where protecting people’s most critical data was non-negotiable. That same level of care, security, and trust is baked into email4.life.

🔹 I don’t read your email.
🔹 I don’t store your email.
🔹 I just make sure you’re always connected.

Because at the end of the day, your email address shouldn’t expire when your job does.

Let’s fix this problem—for good.

-Eric
