Wesley co-founded MediaMonks in 2001 with an aim to wage war on a mediocre digital production. A fan of tight deadlines and a giver of spectacular high fives, Wesley has worked tirelessly to grow MediaMonks into a creative production company with global reach. He spent his late teens and early twenties wrestling the beast that was Flash in a basement office that technically did not exist according to building schematics. In the years since, MediaMonks has grown to accommodate 600+ Monks, with offices in ten cities around the world.

Working from its LA office, Wesley acts as MediaMonks’ COO, making him a lifeline for deadlines and the project manager of project managers across seven time zones. He spends his ephemeral free time as the European Chair of SoDA or cultivating his exceptional beard.
