Will has scaled the dome of the U.S. Capitol and descended into the necropolis beneath the Vatican, experiences that reflect his belief that travel is one of life’s great joys. Alongside his wife, Andrea, and daughter, Audrey, he has explored the world by boat, plane, train, helicopter, and most enjoyably, on foot. At home, Will maintains a growing vinyl collection that provides the soundtrack to evenings and weekends, with a particular fondness for jazz and bossa nova. His enthusiasm for music once carried him and Andrea well beyond their comfort zone when they entered a dance competition, performing The Nitty Gritty by Shirley Ellis before more than 400 paying spectators. They left the evening with the People’s Choice Award, and persistent rumors suggest video evidence still exists online. Will is a native Floridian and a faithful member of Resurrection Catholic Church.
