He has written professionally since the age of 14, was the editor in chief of the newspaper at Albright College, which he graduated from Summa Cum Laude a year early. He has written hundreds of articles of hard news, features and criticism about a wide variety of subjects for multiple publications.

Autism has given Wesley an intense focus and attention to detail that he uses when he is on the job. For an autistic person such as Cipolla, the structure and routine of journalism makes it a perfect fit. He is used to juggling multiple tasks at once and doing repetitive actions, and being a freelance writer requires just that.
