Life story

Wes grew up in Atlanta, GA where he attended Centennial and Independence High Schools, followed by Full Sail University in Winter Park, FL where he earned his degree in Audio Engineering. Wesley had a love for music that started in his teenage years and lasted throughout his entire life. He was often seen strumming his guitar and writing songs. Melissa and Wes shared this passion, and it quickly became the centerpiece of their home.

Upon college graduation, Wes was an audio engineer for Carnival Cruise ships where he enjoyed traveling and exploring new places. Wes also had a talent for brewing beer and was recognized by some of Atlanta’s finest brewmasters receiving the People’s Choice Award at an annual Sweetwater 420 festival. This love for beer led to positions at Cypress Street, Savannah Distribution, and Dogfish Head Brewery. Wes was not afraid to try new things and thus secured a real estate license while living in Asheville.

Wesley valued family and tradition and embraced the idea of moving to Adrian, MI (Melissa’s hometown) when it was time to settle down and start a family. Wes often said he was so lucky to have the best wife, the best son, and the best dog, Diesel. It was in Adrian that Wesley and Melissa dreamed of establishing their own acupuncture business and beginning a life together on the family property. They fulfilled their dreams with the birth of their son, George Anderson, in 2020 and by founding Prescription Earth of Tecumseh, MI. It was no secret that Wes’ most coveted and cherished role in life was that of being a father. Wes stayed home with George during his first two years of life, running the operations of Prescription Earth. With Wes’ newfound country life, he developed a love for the land. He was often seen walking and mapping the trails of the family property and was known for his flourishing garden.

Becoming (Step Into Your Power) - A song by Wes Anderson

"Hurry up and wait, your destiny’s at stake (So don’t let it pass you by). You’re not on your own, so don’t fight it alone inside. Just open up your mind. Commit to dedicate yourself to the current. Step into your power, Stand inside your truth, It's time to come into your own and do what you came to do. Standing in the fray, a hurricane gives way (Perhaps a perfect storm). A wind coming in, so it's time to dig in and spread your tethered wings to fly. Dare to navigate, the strength of the current. In weathering the storm, a seed once planted born (A glimmer in our eyes). And with it a purpose to make it all worth it, pushing us beyond our norms... Burying the horn, creating the current."
