Raised in Nowhere, Ohio, Wes spent his early years roaming the cornfields with children from other families named for farming tasks. After four years with the high school crew team, Wes now enjoys watching his enthusiastic Dartmouth peers row down the Connecticut River and quit the team when winter arrives, which in Hanover is late September.

Wes is a dual biology and econ major, and he wants to be a doctor. Or farmer. Or something. To be true to his name, after Dartmouth he anticipates doing some graduate research on the production of lactose.
