However, as a 5th generation Floridian, William will always have salt air in his lungs and beach sand between his toes. That love of the sunshine and beach sand is also shared by his wife and their furry babies “Roo” and “Ivi” (Cavapoochons), where they are constantly heading for nearby bodies of water.
