Wes began his journey in the field as a wilderness therapy guide and has since dedicated his career to supporting young adults in mental health and recovery. As a Recovery Coach at Skyline, Wes brings a grounded, strengths-based approach to his work—offering structure, accountability, and genuine enthusiasm for helping clients reconnect with themselves and the world around them.

 

A big part of Wes’s coaching style is inviting clients to experience the full range of what life in Bend has to offer. Whether it’s biking Phil’s Trail, skiing Mt. Bachelor, or taking the lead on organizing a pick-up game, Wes helps young men rediscover joy, confidence, and connection through movement, nature, and community. His gift lies in modeling a life that balances responsibility with adventure, and seriousness with play.

 

Wes obtained his Bachelors in Psychology from OSU-Cascades right here in Bend, and is our go to when it comes to any clients that might be interested in knowing more about the college options here. 

 

When he’s not coaching (and often while he is), Wes can be found skiing, surfing, mountain biking, trail running, playing basketball, lacrosse, or soccer, as well as reading, watching shows, playing music, and hanging out with dogs.
