Hometown: Friendship, Ohio

Expected Graduation: Spring 2019

Wesley is from Friendship, Ohio, a small town near the Ohio River. In high school, he experimented with software development by writing small programs to solve math equations ā€“ he was hooked ā€“ and knew he wanted to pursue a computer science degree.

He discussed the Russ Collegeā€™s computer science program with many faculty members and decided to attend 51ĀŅĀ×. As alumni, Wesleyā€™s parents happily supported his decision. He now encourages other students, including his younger sister, to attend OHIO.

In addition to being an Engineering Ambassador, Wesley is a member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). He has worked as a teaching assistant for many undergraduate computer science courses and completed three summer internships with Fluor BWXT in Piketon, Ohio, where he gained valuable hands-on experience developing real-world software solutions.

In his free time, Wesley rides four-wheelers, goes fishing and hiking, and hunts with his dog.
