After earning a B.S. in Business with a concentration in finance from The University of Richmond, Will began his career in financial analysis at an ultra-high net worth financial advisory firm.  He was the lead analyst covering hedge funds, real estate, and private equity funds with over a billion dollars in assets under advisement in those asset classes.   

Will decided to leave financial services after earning a spot in U.S. Navy SEAL training.  Will spent four years in training, working alongside SEALs and recovering from various surgeries until his injuries precluded him from completing training and continuing to serve in the Navy.  Although being unable to continue with training was a disappointment, he is extremely grateful to that community for all that they taught him and for their continued sacrifice.  

After leaving the Navy, Will completed an executive leadership course at Harvard Business School.  He has used his analytical skills to assist several entrepreneurs at startup ventures as well as provide independent consulting to other interesting endeavors.  

Will moved to the Pensacola area to be closer to his now wife, Caroline who is an amazing teacher.  The two of them have a lovely daughter, Elly with a Labrador sidekick named Birdie.
