Entrepreneurship

In April 2014, Westervelt launched a new company HEX Performance based in Baltimore, Maryland. The company produces "HEX" removes that sweaty smell leftover in performance synthetic fabrics. HEX is now being sold at Wegmans, Whole Foods Market, Harris Teeter, Shoprite, and Canadian Tire. [3]

Westervelt was selected by the Denver Outlaws fourth overall in the 2007 MLL Collegiate Draft. [2]

In 2011 he was traded to the Chesapeake Bayhawks, then in 2016 to the New York Lizards. [4]

NLL

He was acquired by the Philadelphia Wings in the third round (37th overall) in the 2007 National Lacrosse League entry draft. [5] During the 2009 NLL season, he was named to the All-Star Game as an injury replacement. [6]
