Will grew up with a nact for electronics. In 1997 when faced with a career choice, Will went on to earn a B.A. from ITT in Fort Lauderdale in Electronic Engineering. At ITT he became a student photographer for the school's marketing department, covering events, competitions, and local school news. Unaware this would ignite a passion inside of him that he had no idea of. Will started covering the school's basketball program, then when the season was over He connected with NOVA in Davie FL and started covering their program and during their offseason, He would cover the park and recreation sports where he found himself eventually covering year-round sports. In 2006 Will relocated to the Tampa Bay area and trained under Jimmy Starling an SEC broadcast production Engineer in video and sound Production. While still shooting headshots, weddings, and events on the side, Will focused on Cinematography, learning Adobe Premier and Photoshop. Starling's broadcast schedule had him on the road a lot, which afforded Will to assume a role as the Media Director over one of the largest churches in St Pete. By 2014, Will opened his own 700 square foot studio in downtown St Pete. When He saw there was a need to be met, He asked to take on an additional task and teach a group of youth broadcasting, photography and video editing for the church weekly announcements. Today Will continues to freelance as a cinematographer and photographer, shooting and directing mostly community content, events and weddings.

Along with formal education I use my camera daily to enhance my skills and listen to podcasts to stay up to date on industry happenings. While on the elliptical at the gym you can also find me watching YouTube tutorials on editing, posing, lighting and other photography basics. I love this trade and I believe it is important to continually learn!
