Soon after graduating from high school, William attended and graduated from barber school. He was a renowned barber, and he was known to his customers as "THA CUTTER". He started his work career as a finisher at H&K. William spent the last 8 years as a training instructor at Amazon.
Above all, he was devoted to God, his family and his community. William married his high school sweetheart, Anntonett Kirklin. They had two beautiful children, Michael and Mykail.
