William's senior thesis in college was based around Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. A former United States Marine he served his four year term from 2002-2006. He was a Motor Transport Operator and was tasked with many logistical missions including movement of supplies and troops. He deployed to Iraq in 2003 and pushed up with 1st Marine Division during the invasion. In 2004 he was then deployed again where he would remain in Fallujah, Iraq for the entirety of 2004 into 2005. He was a part of both major operations that took place that year. Operation Vigilant Resolve and Operation Phantom Fury. Upon his return to civilian life, like most, he would have a difficult time adjusting to life back home.
In 2008 he was finally diagnosed with PTSD. After two years of counseling he took a chance and enrolled into the Art Institute of California-Sacramento where he would pursue their film program. With his growing family at home and school, his time around film sets and meeting new people would bring him back to that "team" environment. Working well with others, as a Marine, he fell right back into what he was most comfortable doing.
Going into his senior thesis he knew he wanted to touch on a subject that he was familiar with. He would collaborate with a few of his peers and eventually Damaged Goods was born. Spending almost an entire year on this project he finally screened his short film in the summer of 2015. Unlike the big budget movies he wanted to hit on a level the common man could relate too. Not everybody is in a heroic role but we all hurt internally the same.
Since graduating college he has worked for Firearms Policy Coalition as there in house camera operator and editor. He also shoots for two local non-profit organizations: Sheriff's Community Impact Program and Project Lifelong. His current project, Tango Down, is still in the pre-production phase but will be going into production end of December 2017.
