Galleries and companies
Opened Java Street Art Cafe Coffee House in St. Petersburg Florida in 1994 after moving there from Columbus and selling several paintings at Columbus coffee houses. Java Street was a coffee house and art gallery on the historic Jannus Landing block in downtown St. Pete. It featured new artists every month, hosted art openings, open mic nights, live music with bands such as Car Bomb Driver, Garage in Africa and many many others. Java Street was a major staple in the St. Petersburg art scene in 1994 and 1995. In the 14 months it was open over 40 different local and regional bands played there as well as showing artwork from countless local artists.

In 1995 Java Street closed due to financial problems and later that year he and his future wife Jessica Warren launched Create Visions Publishing and Design and published several local magazines including The Hitchikers Guide to St. Petersburg, MHz Magazine and EAT (Entertainment, Art, Technology) Magazine. He also helped David Hundley produce Focus magazine, a local Tampa Bay music weekly.

In 1997 Creative Visions moved to doing strictly web design and development and was eventually acquired by InteReach Internet, a now defunct ISP based in Atlanta. In 2002 he resurrected the development company as Vexcom Internet Solutions and is currently CEO and runs Vexcom on a daily basis.

Under the direction of Wesley and Jessica Warren, Vexcom has grown from a two person operation to a thriving development company based in Roswell Georgia that employs over 12 people and develops and manages advanced web applications used by many Fortune 500 companies.
