Founder & CEO
Wesley is an ambitious business entrepreneur that sees opportunity at every corner. With over ten years of web development and graphic design experience, as well as a Bachelor’s of Science in Computer Science from Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana, it’s obvious that Wesley is passionate about solving difficult problems. In addition to being the founding member of Truespire, Wesley is the owner of a second web based graphic design studio called Acroterra Corporation (Acroterra has now merged with Truespire). Wesley’s trials and triumphs in running Acroterra is what inspired him to found Truespire with colleague, Aric Walker.
Wesley is responsible for all of the day-to-day business activities of Truespire but also shares an equal responsibility in the software engineering design aspects for our client’s projects and our products. Moreover, Wesley is a jack of all trades and takes the reins on graphic and user-interface design, user interaction, as well as product strategy and usability. Wesley’s skills in project management are apparent through his concise communication and steadfast followup.
Wesley is a passionate rock climber who brings a climber’s core values of rising to meet a challenge to Truespire’s management and business mindset. He is the author of two rock climbing guidebooks for the Jackson and Pinedale, Wyoming regions (learn more about the book). He also runs a rock climbing blog and website for the Jackson, WY region’s climbing community called ClimbingWyoming.com.

Aric’s significant contributions to Truespire can be credited to his solid work ethic and enduring reliability. A tenacity to overcome difficult software engineering hurtles, an aptitude to push through large workloads, and a love for his profession, are just a few of many qualities that define Aric’s personality. Aric is responsible for many of the technological aspects of Truespire. From product deployment, uptime, quality control, to overall project software engineering
Aric saw a strong opportunity in Truespire’s initial business plan, approach, and product ideas and was quick to snag the opportunity and freedom of working for oneself. He is a talented programmer with a Bachelor’s of Science in Computer Science from Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana and is satisfied with his career and position in life. He is the database development, and complex algorithms brains behind Truespire.
