About William
Biography
For 10 years as a youth William raced sailboats in the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic Ocean and large lakes. William is also an avid certified scuba diver. Sailing and scuba have given William a passion for maritime and admiralty law. William has also worked offshore performing heavy manual labor.
William is a loyal Louisiana resident, having lived in Lafayette since 1984. While growing up William had a passion for sports cars, which led him to racing both open and closed wheeled cars on tracks throughout the South. William has also operated an 18-wheeler. This vehicular experience, along with completing several racing schools, has given William a true feel for truck and car wrecks. There are always a lot of physical dynamics in every truck and car crash—that can best be understood by a trained driver.
