ABOUT ME

My name is Wesley and I am currently living in Jackson, MS and I just recently moved here for a new job. I am a full-time French teacher for an independent high school.

I am looking for great conversations and people who have the same interests in regards to entertainment (theatre, tv, films, art, music, etc). It is my passion to get involved with the performing arts.

About me: I am 30 years old, born in America, gay, open-minded, extroverted and happy-go-lucky!
