William was born in Daytona Beach, Florida but spent most of his childhood and school years traveling around the globe.  He has lived in India, Slovakia, and Poland and has visited dozens of countries in between. Living in Europe spurred a fascination with miming, street performing, and clowning which quickly transformed into a love for acting and performance. He is currently a senior in Missouri State University's Bachelor of Fine Arts Acting program, and was recently seen in their production of Proof as Hal. William also took part in Philadelphia's Pig Iron Theatre Company for a summer session focusing exclusively on mask work, presence, play, and the red nosed clown. 

When he is not performing, William enjoys writing small plays, one acts, and skits. Several of his pieces have been performed by the King Street Players, a new theatre company based in Springfield, Missouri which he helped develop.
