William's Story
I always wanted to be a mad scientist when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a crazy idea. As it turns out, they were kinda right.
To relax I typically just break it on down and chill. I have converted my basement into man-land complete with a technology ctr, beer tap, fireplace, food, & shower- hell I never have to leave man-land... lol
The wildest thing I ever did in school... well that shall never see the light of day. But I did enjoy myself and looking back, those experiences helped 'lead' me in a direction that enabled me to reach many of my goals in early adult-hood- and I'm just getting started.
My heros are those individuals that fight for the common man. There are many high profile figures in the role, I really find inspiration from those that do what they do because it needs to be done- period.
I've lived all over. To simplifly, I'll break it up into the various segments of my life:
Youth (<18)
Elizabeth, NJ (1st time)
Newark, NJ
Hillside, NJ
Elizabeth, NJ (2nd time)
Post HS / Military Days (86-94)
San Antonio, TX
Whichita Falls, TX
Montgomery, AL
Hahn AB, Germany
Dayton, OH
Post Military (94 - Present)
Dayton, OH
Toledo, OH
Pittsburh, PA (1st time)
Atlanta, GA
Pittsburgh PA (2nd time)
The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Deneem Moore, because she was a really good friend & excellent person..
My passions are...
Football Boxing MMA Business News
My biggest ah-hah moment about life is that the day I realized that life was for the living...No fretting about what it is or isnt... live every moment to the fullest.
If I could improve my home, I'd remodel all the bedrooms and add on a jacuzzi in the master bedroom . My dream home would be a little bigger at 6,000 - 10,000 square feet and be a single story with 20 acres of flat gated plush lawn surrounding me in the southeast U.S. somewhere.
What I learned from my kids is that my parents really weren't crazy... lol
The teachers that had an impact on mhy were Mr McMillian and Mrs Troublefield. I remember them truly taking the time to care about me and all my drama...
If I won $100 million, I'd give half to my charitable causes of it to remove their money woes, then spend the rest on enjoying life, making my friends and family debt free and giggling my butt off.
I lived in the dorm during my time in the military. I had no problems with it at all......Expand for more
it helps squash drama when everyones armed... lol
To be happy, I need to have a mission. I am at my best when I'm trying to solve a business and personal problem to a win / win solution. The reality is that I want to win.... unfortunately, no one is perfect- it in those times of crisis management that I strive to lose as small as possible, yet positioned for the next challenge / victory in waiting.
My current age is 41. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be crazy. I was so completely right.... lol.
I believe in hard work. My career aspirations is to become an officer of either a public or privately held company by the time I am the big 5-0.
The first crush.... nothing really came of it. No Lifetime movie there- unfortunately.... lol
My best friend would tell you I'm aggressive, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as even keeled.
Overall, my style is business casual 90% of the time. When in chill mode, I could be happy in sweats, or in my fruit of the loom and the remote control... well- you asked!!!! lol
The weirdest job was probably as a military medic & dental techs.
I share my home with wife, 4 daughters, and Nikita the Rottweiler, which I find just about close to perfect as I could get.
I've got trophies for: Business Leadership and Martial Arts Competitions
If I got one do over, I'd have invested in Microsoft and GE before the last bubble, and made a few other changes to my porfolio.
In 10 years, I hope to be ready to retire. I'm going to get there by working hard over the next 10 years and advancing my career.
One of my olders friends and I met trying to find our way to a club. That first journey was hysterical as there were 4 or 5 of us new to the city all giving different directions and going nowhere. The funny part is that a group of us became best friends that have grown stronger throughout the years....
At my high school reunion, may would be surprised to know that I settled down and never had a run in with the law.... lol
My first job was at McDonalds, where I got paid 3.35/hour to get abused. What I remember most about it is I am going to start paying attention in class..... lol.
The childhood memory that I never forgot was getting my mouth washed out with soap at Sacred Heart... to this day, I am maintaining my innocence!!!!!!!!
