Learn About Wes

  BA in International Relations and Global Security | School of Security and Global Studies

Master of Business Administration (MBA) | Dr. Wallace E. Boston School of Business

Having served in both the Army infantry and the Air Force, Wes began studying at AMU to help prepare for a post-military career with the CIA. While earning his MBA, however, Wes discovered his passion for entrepreneurship—which would, ultimately, lead to his founding several successful businesses.

Today, Wes credits his education for guiding him to create Warrior Lodge Media Group, a company that provides resources for veterans, active-duty servicemembers, and those interested in joining the military.
