Interests

William likes to stay active outside of the office. He spent much of his time outdoors while growing up – where he has continued to practice hunting and fishing. On a more day-to-day basis he likes to stay active in the form of cycling, sports, and weightlifting. He also loves anything to do with fantasy and sci-fi and is often trying to catch up with his ever-growing book collection.
