威尔认为自己“非常擅长”开老爸玩笑, 他的同事偶尔也会同意, 但他的儿子们不同意. 他不工作的时候, 你可以看到他在做他的爱好之一，比如打猎, 钓鱼, 高尔夫球, 跑步或者和家人在一起. Most people would never guess that he played center on his high school football team.
经过25年的经济发展, 其中12年服务于南苏丹西部各县, Will’s passion for making people and places better is quite evident. During his career, he has been involved in the recruitment of over 4000 jobs and $2.7 billion in capital investment from companies including many in our region such as Bridgestone, 金伯利克拉克, Generac, 劳斯莱斯, 和AmbioPharm.
南卡罗来纳人, 在乔治城长大, 并进入了城堡学院, Will’s education and experiences have helped him become a better economic developer. He spent 8 years in manufacturing before beginning his economic development career, which has given him the perspective to not only understand the numbers and motivations behind expansions and relocations, 而是与西方SC合作的制造商建立联系的能力.
此外，他还担任许多地方领导职务, Will holds a Bachelor of Science degree in 工商管理 from The Citadel. He is also a South Carolina Certified Economic Developer and is recognized as an Economic 发展 Master Practitioner by a regional consortium of universities. 威尔已经两次被同行认可了, 2017年第一, the South Carolina Economic Developers Association recognized him as their Local Developer of the Year, and then in 2021 he was recognized by Consultant Connect as one of the Top 50 Economic Developers in North America.
