To many Veterans, William is known as “The Go to Guy” for Veteran benefits and resource information. After serving in the Marine Corps, William worked in healthcare for almost 10 years, working with Veterans, youth, families, seniors, and other community members in addiction and mental health treatment settings. While working in healthcare, he worked diligently toward earning a graduate degree, and in 2019 he earned his Master’s Degree in Social Work. William is happily married and is a father.
