Having scaled the dome atop the US Capitol and having descended into the necropolis buried beneath the Vatican, Will considers travel one of life’s great joys. Together with his wife, Andrea, and daughter, Audrey, they’ve enjoyed seeing the world by way of boat, plane, train, helicopter, and perhaps most enjoyably, by foot. When at home, Will curates a constantly growing collection of vinyl records that spin regularly in the evenings and on the weekends, most commonly jazz and bossa nova. Once, Will and Andrea pushed their love of music well beyond their comfort zone by entering a competition where they danced to the Nitty Gritty by Shirley Ellis in front of more than 400 paying spectators. That evening they were bestowed the Peoples’ Choice Award. Rumors swirl that video evidence of this evening exists somewhere online. Will is a native Floridian and a faithful member of Resurrection Catholic Church.
