Will grew up in southern New Jersey, where annual family trips down to the NJ coastline started his tie to the ocean. After graduating from high school, he enlisted into the US Marine Corps and served for five years before leaving the military. He completed two combat deployments and multiple exercises in the Middle East, Europe, and Southeast Asia. While there, he continued his hobbies of diving and fishing.

After leaving the military he attended UNCW, receiving a Bachelor of Science in Oceanography.
