School and early life

Will spent his entire childhood in Portugal alongside his parents and his four siblings – two brothers and two sisters. He hasn’t shared many details regarding his mother and father and it is only known that his father was part of the military and therefore his family moved with him from base to base throughout the years – this kept on going until he retired in 1991.

As soon as his father retired in 1991, the family moved to California in the United States and settled there – Wil soon got American nationality and is today holding both American and Portuguese.
