Wes discovered Christ at the age of 16, experiencing the true impact of faith. At 19 after the sudden loss of his father he quit college to become an entrepreneur. His faith became mixed at times, believing in God, but confused over the need for a relationship with Christ until later in life. He was a professional musician, record company executive, stockbroker, investment banker and corporate executive for a number of companies in several fields. Wes and his wife Linda live in Prescott, the Christian capital of Arizona, which provided geographical inspiration for his writing, surrounded by the history of the Old West.
