Jacques Wells, Co-Captain of the West Philly Hybrid X Team, was born in North Philadelphia and quickly took an interest in motor vehicles. Jacques currently attends the West Philadelphia High School Academy of Automotive and Mechanical Engineering as a senior. Mr. Wells is also employed part time by the City of Philadelphia's Office of Fleet Management where he works with senior Automotive Technicians maintaining a variety of vehicles, including a fleet for Hybrid Ford Escapes. He also helped design the West Philly Hybrid X Team website and continues to contribute to it. His extraordinary combination of mechanical and academic skills should make his current college application process go smoothly. This summer, Jacques participated in Adventures of the Mind, a mentoring program for outstanding high school students.
