Wesley was born in Trichy... to Mr. Alexander, Retd. Manager, SBI and Mrs. Angela Alexander, Retd. Head Nurse, Govt. Hospital... in 1974 as a little baby...

To the world's surprise the baby started grow day by day... his father Alex saw him growing as a boy he join him in Pre-KG in "Seventh Day Adventist" School in Subramaniya Puram in Trichy...

Wesley studied upto 7th standard there in that school. Suddenly he have to discontinue his studies due to his parents transfer to Chennai... But with his uncle Vincent Paul's effect he soon join 8th standard in "Velankanni Matriculation Higher Secondary School" in Ashok Nagar and finished his +2 commerce group... and applied for B.Com / B.Sc. Maths in Loyola College and Vivekanandha College... But during that period his father Alex again got a promotional transfer to Vellore... So Wesley applied for B.Com in "Voorhees College" in Vellore also...

Simeltenously he got seat both in Loyola and Voorhees at a same time... B.A. Economics (Evening College) from Loyola and B.Com from Voorhees Collge... Wesley prefered B.Com in Voorhees Collge... and begin his degree studies... He is very very average in his studies, but much talented in extra-curricular activities like Mimicry, Dancing, Singing, Mono-Acting etc...

There is a Cobb Hall in Voorhees College... When Wesley is not in Class Room, definately one can find him in Cobb Hall doing his various performance... specially he perform well in Mimicry... Thiruvalluvar know 1330 kural... like that Wesley know atleast 133 kural (various voice of cine actors and other sounds) Actor Parthiban voice was his favourate...

After he completed B.Com... in arva kolaru... he try to climb many trees like C.A., I.C.W.A., etc... but finally he could complete only M.Com (that too with 2 arears... still pending...). He work with few auditing companies for very less salary... it can't be said it's a salary... it can be mentioned say stipend...

One day when he meet his friend Gopinath... and went to a small house... to his surprise the house was full of kids and computers... Madam Sudha was the owner of it... yes she is running a small computer institute... inside her house... Wesley joined DTP there and studied Corel Draw there... but they failed to teach him pagemaker...

But he put an big ice bar on the head of a kid named Siva Shankar and learned pagemaker from him...

Wesley and his brother Praveen planned and started a small DTP Centre on their home upstairs... But Gopi came and again gave a plan of making the DTP centre to a Coaching Institute... So with Gopi's help Wesley and Praveen started the institute.. Various courses were conducted there... Three Part-time faculties... and One Full-time faculty were appointed and the institute run well... with 8 big old systems... (in those days 8 units are a big surprising things) and the coaching were full and full practical oriented teaching... But due to a little loss in his business Wesley came to Chennai for search of better Job then a business... while Praveen continued the institute there in Vellore.

When Wesley came to Chennai his first job appointment was in a small STD booth in Chetput as DTP Operator... He learn there all practical difficulties of designing in the presence of customers... The works are only based on pagemaker... like 25 bio-datas per day... 50 application formats etc... But he loved it... and continued...

Then with his little effort he got a part time job in a magazine called "Ladies Today" in Kodambakkam. Ladies Today is a monthly magazine specially published for ladies... Wesley learned there the layout formats for Magazines... His boss Adiyar Selvam was an excellent guide for him in the designing the layouts and wrapper of the Magazine...

By the time he got an appointment in "Sobagya Advertising Agency", in Nungambakkam... Ms. Swapna was the boss... very skilled lady who gave Wesley full training and guidence in his Artworks for various Banners... Hoardings... Logo creation... Advt. designing... etc.

There he spends more time... but less income... so he have to shift again to a political publication called Jayasuriyan Publication, in T.Nagar... The Editor Jagajeevanram was a very strict person but with a human heart... helped Wesley many new things in publications... but lack of interested in politics Wesley resigned his job there and jumped to "FulMoon Advertising Service" in Arumbakkam.

Here no much risk jobs... only weekly 2 days works.. other days OB... enjoyed well with his co-workers... there were many departments including printing / binding / designing / accounts etc... Wesley mingled with all department people and make friendship with them...
