A Father’s Wisdom

Will’s journey began in Northeast Ohio, where he learned the values of dignity, respect, and teamwork from his parents. His father, a Vietnam War Army veteran, instilled in him the importance of discipline, consistency, and standing up for what’s right. These early lessons shaped Will’s passion for protecting and empowering others—a passion that led him to enlist in the Army National Guard at 17.

 At just 24 years old, Will became the executive officer of a company of 300 soldiers in Iraq. Faced with complex challenges and unknowns, he quickly learned that empowering his team to make decisions was the key to success. By fostering critical thinking and collective purpose, Will saw his team excel, even in combat.

Leading My Team

“We weren’t successful because everyone just took orders from me. We were successful because we collaborated, worked together, and led each other.”
