Wes's unique combination of a B.S. in Agricultural Business, a PhD in Integrated Public Policy, and graduate research in Food and Nutrition Science positions him as one of the most credible grant writers in the country for food systems, agricultural, environmental justice, and HBCU community development funding.
His experience inside the U.S. Congress, with direct exposure to legislative priorities and federal funding frameworks, gives him a distinct advantage in aligning proposals with what funders actually want to fund.
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) and Preventive Controls Qualified Individual (PCQI) certifications are federally recognized credentials required for food safety compliance under FDA's Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Most food businesses need a certified professional on their team — very few can point to one with this combination of academic and field experience.
Wes's combination of direct congressional experience and doctoral-level policy research makes him a rare resource for organizations that need policy analysis they can actually act on. He has drafted legislative recommendations, built briefing memoranda for a sitting Member of Congress, and conducted policy research at the intersection of food systems, environmental justice, public health, and HBCU community development.
Wes holds a B.S. in Agricultural Business from Tuskegee University (Cum Laude) — the same institution where George Washington Carver, an orphan who became the most important agricultural scientist of his era, built the science that fed a nation. That legacy is personal and professional.
Combined with direct farm management experience at Shady Groove Blueberry Patch and graduate research on agricultural sustainability and food chemistry, Wes brings both academic depth and field credibility to every agricultural engagement.
As a former collegiate quarterback, track and field athlete, and NASM Certified Personal Trainer with a graduate research focus on functional nutrition and alkaline hydration science, Wes brings a uniquely integrated perspective to wellness consulting.
Wes has organized across 53 congressional districts, led voter registration programs with Black Votes Matter, managed campaign communications for thousands of voters, and advised directly inside a congressional office on floor strategy and coalition building. He has seen political strategy from the outside and from the inside.
With a B.A. in Film and Media Studies from UC Santa Barbara and years of independent production experience through Triple Helouix Productions, Wes brings the rare combination of policy intelligence and media craft to every project. He does not just tell stories — he builds the narrative architecture that makes policy change feel human and inevitable.
