The Dallas-native said his career as an epidemiology specialist for the Missouri Department of Health studying HIV and AIDS was unfulfilling.
"I was sitting at a desk for eight hours a day and not getting much satisfaction from it," he said. He started to consider a new career and decided to take his life-long photography hobby to the next level.
"One of my dreams has always been to live close to the mountains, so when I started looking for photography schools and found the Rocky Mountain School of Photography http://www.rmsp.com/ in Missoula, it seemed like the perfect fit," Williams said.
