While Will has always known that writing and the exploration of the human condition would be his "end game," he has sought out varied professional and educational experiences--resulting in a unique view of our contemporary collective circumstance. He grew up in a conservative military family and attended the University of Colorado in Boulder.

While at CU, Will discovered Eastern philosophy, notably Zen Buddhism and Taoism. He chose to obtain a degree in Economics for uniquely personal reasons--viewing the swings and fluctuations of a free-market economy seeking balance as an expression of "the Way" of natural autonomous systems, or more largely, the "Tao." He worked in commercial real estate and in finance before making a professional shift toward government. Will served as both a sheriff's deputy and police officer outside of Denver for six years. As an officer he saw evidence daily of a nascent personal thesis--the necessity for modern American society to embrace fully the concept of deep personal responsibility, with larger implications for the future of humanity and the natural world.

Will is a strong supporter of an expanded exploration of space and believes that the perspective gained by simply looking up can change the world. Moving up and out while gazing honestly within--toward these pursuits will we encounter our potential. Will lives in Colorado with his two dogs, Taurus and Sterling.
