Dr. Weseloh was born on 24 May 1941 in San Diego, California. When WWII broke out his parents moved to Lincoln, Kansas. His mother divorced his dad and moved back to San Diego when he was nine. He started several small businesses since he was about six years old. He started a printing company when he was twelve with a very small printing press and built it up to a complete shop with a two ton press. Two days after his seventeenth birthday he joined the US Naval Reserve. Right after graduating high school he started college. Shortly before his nineteenth birthday he joined the US Air Force and spent five years on active duty. He completed the longest school in electronics that the Air Force had (53 weeks) in Biloxi, Mississippi and then went on to instructor training. For many years he taught electronics, business, and accounting. While in the service he served in Japan, Korea, other Asian countries, plus other countries. Even while in the Air Force he continued his college studies. While in the Air Force he became a Buddhist. After leaving active duty in the Air Force he stayed out of the military for almost two years. Then he went back to the US Naval Reserve where he spent ten years. Then he transfered to the US Air Force for five years. With a total of 22 years he retired. Before his 40th birthday he received his Doctor of Philosophy in Human Behavior with emphasis on managerial leadership, he retired from the US Air Force Reserve, and became a millionaire. He has six degrees. The first was a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (electronics) then psychology and business administration. His forth degree was a Bachelor of Science in Accounting with a minor in Psychology. He followed that with a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) and finally his Ph.D. In 1989 he financially lost everything and came down to West Texas with a negative $27,000.00 in net worth. Since then he has somewhat build back up even though it is not as much as it was before he lost everything. He has owned several pieces of real estate including apartments and motels. After becoming a Buddhist in 1963 he tried at least twice to become a vegetarian. Back then there was no help but because of the Buddhist belief of Ahimsa (non-cruelty towards all sentient beings) he continued to try hard until he succeeded in August 1967. His failure before was because about all he ate was cottage cheese and other cheeses. That made him sick. Finally with the help of the Seventh Day Adventists he was able to get enough help to successfully become a vegetarian. He remained a vegetarian for 29 years until he discovered the truth about factory farms. That caused him to become a vegan. That was in August of 1996. He founded VEGAN Q & A, VEGAN Resource Library, and he took over VEGAN Mailing List three and a half months after it was founded. That was 1 Oct 97. On 13 January 2009 he turned over the ownership to Centro Vegetariano. On 14 Jan 09 VEGAN became VEGAN 2050.
