bio

Born on the banks of the Mississippi in New Orleans, raised outside of Nashville in the hills of Tennessee, and educated in Chicago and Los Angeles before settling in Brooklyn, Will takes pride in truly being "from everywhere." 

An interest in theater and years of acting from childhood through high school gave way to the decision to try film as an undergraduate at Northwestern University. There was no turning back. After dreaming of directing for four years, mostly shooting others' films in the process, it dawned on Will that he actually preferred the camera to the director's chair. To that end, he moved to Los Angeles to study cinematography at the American Film Institute Conservatory.

Impatience with the pace of Los Angeles and a wanderer's spirit drew Will eastward, and he soon fell in love with New York. His work largely consists of commercials and music videos, and he's worked with such clients as Google, Blue Man Group, 3M, Wild Turkey Bourbon, Dick's Sporting Goods, Bank of America, NRG / Reliant Energy, and New York University. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife, Sarah, and son, Liam.
