Wes is Star Army's creator and current administrator.

Star Army is Wes's passion and he spends nearly all of his free time and a significant portion of his income contributing to Star Army in some form. Wes is responsible for several of the community's most important roles:

• Webmaster
• Setting Manager (oversees the SARPiverse as a whole and manages Faction Managers)
• Faction Manager for the site's oldest faction, the Yamatai Star Empire and for the enemy NMX faction.
• Game Master for the YSS Eucharis plot
• Roleplayer of the celebrity character Hanako.
• Forum moderator and administrator
• IRC channel operator
• several other various roles such as 2D and 3D artist, editor, armchair lawyer, and financier.

In this way, for better or worse, Wes is directly involved in all levels of the site. Although Wes has appointed co-administrators over the years, he has remained a driving force behind the community. Although Wes primarily works in the Yamataian and NMX factions, he has been known to create articles for other factions such as Nepleslian ground vehicles, kits, and rations.

Wes is focused on constantly improving Star Army and its sustainability. For this reason, Wes maintains a huge List of Projects to better the site and he actively works to make the site friendly and understandable to new players and to see that individuals with Game Master potential are put in places where they can develop.

Wes is 27 and lives in the outskirts of Atlanta, GA. Like many SARPers he is a geek; he has worked in the IT field for over ten years and is a fan of anime, sailing ships (and pirates), Lego, and role-playing games. Wes is also a military brat; his father is a captain in the US Navy and Wes is a US Army veteran; he served in the US Army Reserve from 2000 to 2007 and was deployed to Kuwait for a year during that time.

In 2009, he married an English teacher. A cake with the Star Army logo was present at the wedding.

Some of Wes's favorite films and TV series include Star Trek (TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY), Patlabor 2, Nadesico, and Macross. His first roleplaying experience was with Robotech: The RPG by Palladium Books. Wes is also a collector of Lego Pirates.

He is most likely an INTJ personality type.
