His career was launched in High School when he presented a magic show for a fine arts class. The show was such a hit, that he decided to pursue entertaining professionally. While studying at the University of Vermont, he expanded his clientele to all parts of Vermont. During this time, Will also developed his other skills such as juggling, balloon sculpting, and unicycling.

After graduation in 1999, it was a true turning point in Will's life and career. He decided to move to Las Vegas with no job and no connections. After working at a magic shop for six months to pay the bills, Will finally got a break on a cruise ship line and headlined for Princess Cruises for over a year.

Having honed his act on the ships, but wanting to limit his travel, Will started producing shows that he would perform in, becoming the youngest producer and headliner in Las Vegas in the process. After starring in his most recent show "Spotlight" for over a year he once again took his act on the road in 2006 performing a 2 month tour of resorts in the Dominican Republic, then a 5 month contract as the "The Ultimate One-Man Variety Show" at the Six Flags amusement park in St. Louis.

Will continues to entertain corporate and VIP clients in Las Vegas and around the world between his long term contracts. When not performing, improving his act or spending time with his family, Will uses his spare time producing and starring in instructional DVDs on magic, juggling and other related skills.

Every show presents a new challenge to Will as he tries to make each show better than his last, putting his full effort and heart into every performance. He looks forward to taking his show to the next level and eventually his own TV series. Will lives by the motto "if you don't take a chance, you don't have a chance" and when his new clients take a chance on Will they are never disappointed.
