Aviation Background

Inspired by his grandfather and a high school friend, William began his flight training between studies at Belmont and Liberty University. He earned his ratings under the mentorship of Gold Seal CFI and PC-24 pilot Steve Stryker at Music City Executive Airport (KXNX). Today, William calls San Antonio home and frequently flies his Twin Comanche out of both KXNX and Bulverde Airpark (1T8).

He founded Wallace Cloud Aviation, a licensed sole proprietorship and insured commercial provider with a CASP agreement at Music City Executive.

Beyond the Cockpit

William has a information technology and mechanical backgrounds. Off-duty, you’ll find him tinkering with engines, rebuilding motorcycles and hybrid trucks, or hosting web services from his San Antonio and New Mexico data center deployments running on Wallace Cloud BANDS™ (aka big-ass-network-directory-servers). He’s been known to fly his Twin Comanche to Alaska—or crash Honda motorcycles north of the Arctic Circle. Either way, he’s always chasing the next adventure.
