What Wes Talks About


Surviving the Unsurvivable

On Christmas Day 1992, Wes lost his mother, stepfather, and two older brothers in a single night, and spent the next five days comatose with a flatline brain scan. He talks openly about what that night took, and what it left behind.

Coaching Himself Through It

For 34 years, Wes has coached other people through their hardest moments. He shares what it looked like to turn that same discipline on himself, in the season when no one was left to coach him through it.

A Message for Any Room

Wes has spoken to Rotary clubs, schools, sports teams, and community groups across Iowa, shaping his story to fit a breakfast meeting, an assembly, or corporate events.
