Wesley Black
entrepreneur + dreamer + builder
Wesley loves to tinker, and fancies himself a creative problem solver. The many hats he wears as CEO, etc. at First in Print afford him ample opportunities to play around with his puzzler each day.
An entrepreneur with a graphic design and web design background, but most importantly a husband and father, Wes enjoys family adventures with his wife Melanie, son Conrad, and daughter Genevieve. They love bike rides, kayaks, road trips, mountains, and hanging out on the beach.
A self-proclaimed life long learner, Wesley is passionate about building a home environment and company culture that both foster a love of learning and keen interest in self improvement. He can build a spreadsheet to manage just about anything, and considers himself a nerd with an artistic streak. Inspired by his lovely wife who was a middle school teacher for six years, he aspires to put his talents and resources to work helping inspire a love of learning in the hearts of students who need it.
This fun-loving, pretty geeky, left-handed somewhat artsy outdoorsy type fellow is also a big fan of astronomy, audiobooks, aviation, and even some things that don't begin with the letter A- such as mountain biking, running, guitar, snowboarding, and racquetball.
