| Introduction | My name is Will and I had always lived a Very full and busy life. After scratching my way out of both Middle and High School where apparently I had Kick Me Tattoo'ed on my forehead I Graduated at 17 and FLED to college in Jacksonville, FL and there is where I began to both reinvent myself but more importantly Love myself. Before vision boards were even in our everyday vernacular I had a notebook of all of my aspirations and dreams for the things I wanted to do with my life and #1 on that list was to work at Walt Disney World. Now I know what you are thinking..heck he is in Jacksonville it must be a hop skip and a jump (actually about 3 hours away) but surely you must have moved to florida for that reason (wrong again it was to play Charles in Charles to my Cousin Terry and her husband Mark who had 3 kids ages 5,8, and 11) lived with them and went to school at a local community college down there..told you just wanted to get the hell out of West Bridgewater and I was only 17 gay eventhough I did not want to admit it to myself and it was the best decision of my life...it was the perfect way to dip my toes with a nice net there just in case. |
| Interests | I absolutely love spending time with friends, camping, reading a good book or magazine off of my iPad 2, and most importantly doing anything with my partner in crime my Boston Terrier Elphaba Magpie Morse. |
| Favorite movies | I spent the next year at University of North Florida and was an Resident Assistant. Transferred the next yeard back to Bridgewater State College and continued as an R.A. for another 2 1/2 years and was chosen to represent the college for a summer at the Walt Disney World College Program and also attended the Management Course that executives everywhere these days clammer to get into and pay a LOT of money and I am proud to say I did not get my MOUSTERS but I recieved a 4.0 so I got my DUCKTOURATE. clap clap clap.. After graduation I then to work in the Entertainment and Character Dept there for less than a year where I played both THE BEAST and GASTON in |
| Favorite music | The Beauty and the Beast Show at MGM studios. I then moved to Chicago to be with dear friends that to this day continue to be dear friends and live the life of an "actor" but it was not for me so I decided to do something about it did my homework and realized the kind of job I would be good at perhaps would be a Talent Agent after meeting one. The Agent I met got me a job in the mail room in a small boutigue agency and there I was living in LA making less than $200 a week no cell phone (cb radio) and chevy cavalier that was on its last legs. So I was hungry and WORKED my ass off and it did not go unnoticed and some Agents noticed and took me under their wings and long story short I was a junior agent at a different agency within 13 months. |
| Favorite books | For the next 7 years I worked for 3 different companies, went from being an agent to being a Talent Manager and was blessed to work with some really great people and unfortunately worked with some real assholes as well...but I would never trade in the experience...Once I realized that money could not buy happiness and although I could negotioate to the mountains for my clients when it came to negotiate for myself I always let myself get screwed. And still smiled and worked harder than anyone..so I decided that I must be able to use these skills to better help people in a more humane way. So I became a Registered Nurse which was not easy but I did it! I then took a job at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan NY, NY. I absolutley loved everything about it. I know that sounds strange but once you get over the fact that your dealing with Cancer you all realize you also realize you find yourself dealing with Faith and Hope and those are great things to be working for. ON APRIL 12, 2007 everything that was going so well stopped for me....the brakes were slammed. I had been having horrible Siatic pain and on that day they finally |

took an MRI that I insisted on and they found 5 Tumors going up and down my spine. The last 5 years have been nothing but defeat after another. wether it be yet another diagnosis, or another friend lost because "they cannot deal with my illness", the loss of my bladder, the pain, the searing pain, meds, meds and more meds
