FULL BIO Wesley Farnsworth is a father of four, author, speaker, preacher, podcast host, and ministry leader whose work centers on faith, recovery, identity, and personal transformation. Through his writing, speaking, preaching, and podcast *Unmasked with Wesley Farnsworth*, Wesley creates space for honest conversations about the parts of life people often hide—shame, addiction, failure, grief, doubt, calling, healing, and what it really looks like to follow God when life gets hard. His message is shaped by lived experience, not theory. After years of battling hidden struggles, misplaced identity, and the pressure to appear stronger than he felt, Wesley experienced a deep transformation through faith, recovery, community, and surrender. Today, he uses his story to help others discover that they are not defined by their past, their failures, or the labels they have carried, but by who God says they are. Wesley is the author of *The Blueprint of Becoming: A Practical Guide to Faith, Failure, and Finding Your Way Forward*, a book about identity, transformation, and rebuilding life through faith. His second book, *When Faith Meets Fire*, continues that journey by exploring what it means to trust God in seasons of uncertainty, waiting, disappointment, and surrender. As a speaker and preacher, Wesley shares messages that are honest, practical, and rooted in Scripture. He speaks in churches, recovery ministries, men’s events, retreats, and conferences, helping people move from hidden struggle into freedom, faith, and authentic transformation. Before stepping more fully into ministry and speaking, Wesley spent fifteen years serving in and alongside the United States Air Force as a photographer and Public Affairs Specialist. His work took him from presidential inaugurations to war zones, where he learned the power of honest storytelling and the importance of communicating with clarity and purpose. He later earned master’s degrees in Branding and Internet Marketing and built a career helping organizations tell meaningful stories with excellence. Wesley is also the founder of Service Ministries, a nonprofit created to help churches, nonprofits, missionaries, and Christian organizations communicate clearly, use creativity well, and expand their impact through websites, branding, media, and practical ministry tools. Whether he is preaching from a pulpit, interviewing a guest, writing a book, teaching in a classroom, or helping a ministry clarify its message, Wesley’s heart remains the same: to help people remove the masks they have learned to wear, encounter God honestly, and discover that transformation is still possible. Wesley lives in Iowa, where he continues to write, speak, preach, teach, and walk out the same message he shares with others—that God is not finished with your story, and He often does His deepest work in the places we would rather avoid.

Adam Adler’s career is marked by a steady progression through fields that require discipline, adaptability, and long-term thinking. Now based in Charleston, he works as an entrepreneur and investor and serves as the founder of The Adler Fund, a private equity group investing in sustainable development, real estate, technology, and high-growth startups. His path brings together experiences from athletics, early digital ventures, biotechnology, and strategic investing, all of which contribute to the approach he carries today. Adam’s introduction to structure and resilience began on the tennis court. He trained at the Rick Macci Tennis Academy in South Florida, where the environment emphasized repetition, accountability, and continuous improvement. His commitment to the sport earned him a tennis scholarship to the University of South Carolina. While competing as a student-athlete, he completed a double major in Sports & Entertainment Management and Business and graduated with honors in 2007. The discipline required to balance high-level athletics with academics played a significant role in shaping his work ethic. His entrepreneurial foundation was formed early during his college years. While at USC, Adam co-founded Ultimate Social Networking Inc. and Ultimate College Model, the first digitally native modeling network. These projects introduced him to product development, user engagement, and the fast adjustments needed when working with technology-driven platforms. This early exposure helped him understand the power of innovation and prepared him for the industries he would tackle next. After graduating, Adam moved into the biotech sector. He assembled a team of molecular scientists, including several former biochemists from Merck and Amgen, to create Fuse Science. The company built a 30k sq. ft. FDA- and cGMP-certified facility in Oxnard, California, that served as its headquarters and lab. As CEO, he oversaw the development of a nutrient delivery system that used sublingual, buccal, and transdermal absorption, allowing nutrients to bypass the digestive process for faster uptake than capsules. During the company’s early stages, he self-funded operations, secured crucial intellectual property, and recruited executives with experience from Fortune 25 companies. He expanded the brand's reach through partnerships with high-profile athletes, including Tiger Woods, Andy Murray, David Ortiz, Jose Bautista, Tyson Chandler, Paul Pierce, Andre Ward, and Paul Rodriguez. With support from Daymond John, Fuse Science grew significantly, increasing its valuation from roughly $500k to more than $100M. Parallel to his entrepreneurial work, Adam built a strong presence in professional poker. He has reached multiple final tables at World Series of Poker events and earned repeated deep runs in major World Poker Tour tournaments.

Not since the Headless Horseman went charging through Sleepy Hollow has something come out of the Hudson Highlands of upstate New York as thrilling and chilling as author and paranormal researcher James A. Willis. Fueled by a steady childhood diet of Boo Berry cereal, Creepy magazine, and late-night Vincent Price movies, Weird Willis soon developed a taste for the unexplained and quickly began seeking out all things strange and spooky. In 1999, after spending more than 15 years chasing after ghosts and visiting crybaby bridges, Willis moved to Ohio and founded The Ghosts of Ohio (ghostsofohio.org), a nationally recognized paranormal research organization. Willis has grown the organization to more than 35 members across three divisions in Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. In 2004, in what seemed to be destiny, Mark Moran and Mark Sceurman, the brainchilds of the Weird US series of books, approached Willis and asked him to contribute to their latest volume, Weird US. To date, Willis has been involved with 6 books in the Weird US series: Weird Ohio (2005), Weird Indiana (2008) Weird US (2004), Weird Hauntings (2006), Weird US II: The ODDyssey Continues (2008), and Weird Encounters (2010). In addition, Willis has been a contributing author to several books in the Armchair Reader series, including Weird, Scary & Unusual (2008), Armchair Reader Goes Hollywood (2010), and Haunted America (2011). In 2012, Willis struck out on his own with the publication of Haunted Indiana. For 2013’s The Big Book Of Ohio Ghost Stories, Willis crisscrossed Ohio to bring readers over 75 of the Buckeye state’s most famous (and infamous) ghosts. In 2015, Willis released Ohio’s Historic Haunts: Investigating the Paranormal in the Buckeye State. A joint effort with Kent State University Press, the book approached hauntings and ghost stories from a historical perspective and chronicled Willis’ personal experiences when locked inside of some of Ohio’s most haunted locations. 2017’s Central Ohio Legends & Lore, had Willis chasing down some of the Buckeye State’s most legendary characters, including Johnny Appleseed, Annie Oakley, and Chief Leatherlips. 2022 saw the release of the second book in Willis’ Legends & Lore series, Southern Ohio Legends & Lore, with late 2025 bringing the release of Northern Ohio Legends & Lore. A sought-after public speaker, Willis has given presentations throughout the United States, during which he has educated and entertained tens of thousands of people of all ages in crowd sizes ranging from 10 to well over 600. He has also been featured in over 100 media sources, including CNN, USA Today, Columbus Business First, Midwest Living, The Canadian Press, the Astonishing Legends podcast, and even the Kuwait Times. Willis currently resides in Galena, Ohio, with his wife and daughter and two narcoleptic cats.
