Will is a graduate of Weston High School (1985), the University of Massachusetts undergraduate and graduate school. Will spent the last 22 years of his professional life working at Lincoln Lab- oratories. While Will enjoyed working at the Lab, his fav- orite place to be was hiking with friends in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, the colder and more difficult the trek, the happier he was. He liked hiking and rock climbing in the warm months, and ice climbing in the winter. Will also enjoyed trekking on other mountain ranges, including summiting Denali during the summer of 2016.
