Who is William in one sentence?
I’m someone who loves bringing people together—usually around ideas, food, or a good conversation.
Where are you from, and how long have you been in Vancouver?
I grew up just outside of Ottawa, but I was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and moved to Canada through adoption when I was almost two. Been here almost 11 years.
What’s one food or drink spot in the city you keep going back to?
Dovetail. It’s the kind of place where the vibe keeps pulling me back.
What are three things we’d find you doing on a Saturday?
Drinking and snacking at a brewery like Field House or Superflux. Chilling in Chilliwack at my girlfriend’s place. And if it’s summer, at a beach—if not, on my laptop cooking up a side or community project.
What’s something you’re focused on or excited about in your life right now?
Honestly, just my health and fitness. I’m down almost 25 lbs over the past year and want to keep up the momentum.
Someone in the city more people should know about?
Sanket Mittal, founder of Althra, a Vancouver based incubator for founders who are ready to build.
