William became active in the Goju Karate family as a teenager where he eventually earned his fourth-degree black belt and received his nickname “Sensei”. When William was 19, he enlisted in the United States Army and aspired to become an Airborne Ranger. He was honorably discharged in his early twenties due to injuries sustained during a parachute jump. He met his loving wife Barbara when he was 21 while on blind date. They fell in love and were married September 13, 1981. They gave birth to their first born shortly after and two more bundles of joy would follow. William’s pride and joy were his wife and children. In his mid-twenties, William entered the NYPD Police Academy and graduated to become a patrolman for the Brooklyn South Task Force where he served the City of New York with great pride. He was loved by his fellow officers as well as the public he served. Later in his career he was injured in the line of duty during a riot.
