He has been a musician and a renovator of houses, and has been known to engage in hiking, scuba diving, and cycling. He teaches courses in contracts, secured transactions, and bankruptcy, as well as an occasional seminar on jurisprudence. He has twice been selected by the third year class to receive the Felix Frankfurter Award for Distinguished Teaching, most recently in 1999.  During the spring 2007 semester, Professor Wessman taught as a visiting professor at the University of South Carolina's law school.
