"My heritage is Black, but after my brother Alex who is also the head designer for Zulu Rose did a family tree voyage, we found Brazilian, and Moroccan roots. How cool would it have been to get to grow up speaking three languages? I'm currently struggling with my Portuguese language CD's."

When asked about what he thinks Photographers see in him William replies:

"Really, I have no idea. I'm that guy who goes "Huh? Me?" and inwardly laughs when someone wants to shoot me. I'd actually like to know what Photographers see in me. Don't we all wish we could be as cool as strangers think we are?"

William is not only a model but also a filmmaker as well:

"SHADOWBOXER CINEMA is my brother Chris and myself. We are students of martial arts, and used that discipline to stay focused in Hollywood with it's deadly and delicious distractions. We are a writer/director "Content creator" team. Our latest film is a sci-fi satire about debt collectors. In the future, collection agencies don't ask for their money politely. They are armed and looking for delinquent debtors. Don't have the money? We just finished a romantic comedy and are currently in the 'deal shopping' mode. Another film on the site (www.shadowboxercinema.com) is called THE CHOP SHOP. A true story about the time I was dating a married woman. No, I didn't know she was married, and if you watch the film, you'll see what happened when I was visiting her and her husband came home! LOL!!! True story. I know, I shoulda been smarter. I'll never learn. ha ha...."
