William plays several musical instruments and sang for eight years with the Indianapolis Opera. He lives in the Park Ridge Apartments in Ward 3, attends at least two church services each Sunday, and has services during the week at eight nursing homes. He also assists at the food pantry. William wanted to be a part of the Ferguson Civilian Review Board because “...I know I can make a difference! I believe cool heads make a difference, however, everyone MUST be heard!”
