William was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and began playing soccer at a very young age. He experienced great success at the amateur, and semi-professional level with the Calgary Foothills FC which ultimately led him to receiving a scholarship to play at UTRGV (NCAA Div.1). After a strong showing in the NCA, William earned his first professional contract with Valour FC of the CPL (Canadian Premier League) in 2021. 

In his free time, William shows his charismatic side by way of his largely followed YouTube channel where he highlights the day-day life of a high-performance athlete and everything that comes with it.
