William was born at RAF Upper Heyford in England. He moved to Virginia at an early age, but liked trains both British and American. His father's hobby was photography, so William was encouraged to photograph trains instead of just watching them. In 2003 he started to publish photos on railroad photography websites.
In 2006 Genesee and Wyoming Railroad asked to pubish some of his photos of the Commonwealth Railway in a book. The book is scheduled to be relaesed in late 2006.
William has many hobbies. He plays the harmonica and also enjoys drawing, photography and country music. His favorite musician is Johnny Cash. William owns and operates an N scale model railroad and although he no longer has an HO scale layout he still enjoys model trains of all sizes. He is also an active member of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Hampton, Virginia.
