Wesley grew up in the small town of Roswell, GA, just South of Forsyth County. Back then, Wesley spent his childhood playing, fishing, hunting, and riding four wheelers where North Point Mall is now located. At that time, GA 400 stopped at Old Milton Pkwy.
In 2001, Wesley married his wife Jakima, at St. David’s Episcopal Church in Roswell, GA. A year later, they purchased their first home in Forsyth County. Soon after, they had their only son, Ian.
Ian’s kindergarten year began Wesley’s involvement with the Forsyth County School System. Starting with reading each week to the class and volunteering for Math groups, to becoming a mentor, to spear heading the Science Lab at Sawnee Elementary, Wesley was very involved at the school. This came to also include several years on the PTA Board and serving on the Local School Council for two schools.
Wesley’s involvement with student development has spanned many different avenues to include: church youth group, founder of the Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) through North Fulton Leadership, being assigned to work with the Georgia Department of Education to develop career path curriculum for the public safety industry, Boy Scout Leader, and serving on several educational boards.
Wesley holds an undergraduate degree from Grand Canyon University in Christian Leadership and a graduate degree from Columbus State in Public Administration. Most weekends, he spends time with his family watching his son play lacrosse, and every now and then squeezes in time for fishing. Wesley and his family attend Browns Bridge Church.

I have served Forsyth County as a humble leader that has placed our community first!
The past four years:
- I led our community through a global pandemic by standing up for parents' choice, practical safety measures, and supporting teachers with the resources they needed to be successful.
- I advocated for face-to-face learning.
- I worked to build transparency and promote parent involvement.
- I helped develop a conservative financial plan that eliminated the four year bond cycles, pays off our current debt, and created a capital improvement plan that is funded as a pay as we go. If this plan is maintained, our school system can be debt free by 2036.
- Stopped and Reevaluated programs that were associated with CRT.
- Worked with parents, teachers, and community members to build a 5 year strategic plan that is for Forsyth County by Forsyth County.
- Built working relationships with County Commissioners, State Legislations, and Community Partners to ensure we work together to make Forsyth County better.
I'm also proud to be the Chair of the Forsyth County Homeless Youth Council.
