William Christopher's Story
After High School, I worked in the restaurant industry for 5 years in various local Detroit area restaurants, including the old Meating Place in W. Bloomfield.
Moved back to Kentucky in 82 and started college in 83 at the University of Louisville. Finished in 87 with a BA in English and Humanities, and then did some grad work while teaching high school English and coaching wrestling (8 years.)
Got married in 91 (wife also a teacher), and exited teaching in 96; employed full time since in sales--architectural metal roofing systems and living in Shelbyville, KY with my wife and 2 children, girl 12, boy 10, and girl #2 due in April of 08.
Not hard to see that I was a late starter. Though I'm quite happy, nonetheless.
I'm on the school board of a small independent Catholic school and on the parish council of our church. I sing bass in the church choir, and I perform as a solo singer for various...Expand for more
fundraising events, singing the old standards: Dean Martin, Andy Williams, Nat King Cole, Steve Lawrence, etc., as well as some Philly soul and Motown tunes. I've only been realizing this dream for about 5 years now.
As always, since I'm originally from Columbus, OH, so I'm a Buckeye Fan, though as I've been away from Michigan for so many years, I can pull easily for the Wolverines or Spartans. But my alma mater is U of L (The Cardinals.)
If you don't remember me, I wouldn't be surprised. I was at Southfield for just my junior and senior years, and I always see myself in hindsight as an outsider who never really fit in because I was so misguided in those days and not grounded at all. But I have fond memories of those friends I made and the pathway that was paved to where I am now because of those times.
God's ways are mysterious and outrageous, and I'm happy that I've been privy to them.
