William went to Vo-Tech for Graphic Art Design in high school and then went onto graduate at The Art Institute of Philadelphia. Worked as a Page Layout Artist at Verizon Yellow Pages for 11 years. He then discovered a passion of combining drawing and storytelling by making a few comic books and a children's book named 'Ryan The Lion'.
