About William

I became interested in being a caregiver after my father became ill. When I saw the amount of love and support that he received from his caregivers, I knew it was something that I want to do. To be able to provide such an selfless act of kindness and care to someone in need is such amazing experience. I enjoy spending time with each client as well as being apart of their support system. My greatest personal achievement is being a positive role model to my sons. To know that they have me to look up to makes me want to do the best that I can. Even if hard times may come, I hold my head up high. When they grow older, I want them to be able to say "my dad had hard times and tough situations, but he never gave up. He fought through it and showed us that sometimes people have to struggle. Its what you do during the struggle that will determine the outcome." I am originally for Ohio, but moved to Georgia in December of 2012 when my mother became sick. I love to spend time with my family and watch football. I enjoy meeting new people and talking about history.
