Hi, I'm Wes! Ever since I can remember, I've always been a curious and ambitious kid. I was constantly cooking up new projects and schemes. Today, that playground sentiment still persists through my unwavering passion for entrepreneurship. I love making new things and showing them off. When I was young, I'd take apart old radios and put them back together again. Today, I'm a skilled computer programmer and engineer. When I was young, I'd bore my parents with long meandering stories. Today, I'm an aspiring novelist and talented writer. My ambition, drive, and creativity have only grown over the years, and I'm excited to apply my skills to whatever project comes next!

I’m an intellectually curious student

I’m currently a Freshman studying at Miami University. I’m in the TechESP program, a combination of the Entrepreneurship co-major and the Emerging Technology major. This program teaches entrepreneurial business and technical skills such as computer programming.

However, my academic interests and curiosity extend far beyond my majors, including the additional disciplines of political science, journalism, and creative writing.
