RICH WESSEL

Hello, my name is Rich Wessel and I was born and raised in Rockford, IL. I graduated in 2000 from Stillman Valley High School in Stillman Valley, IL. Little did I know that this is where my passion for education would begin... While in high school, at the age of 15 years old, I started my first business, a small online advertising company selling advertising to a wide variety of online clients. At the same time, I worked for a small general aviation business for over ten years working my way up from ground maintenance to sales manager. During this time, at 20 years of age, I also launched my second business, a small tech consulting business helping local businesses develop an online presence.
