Will has an interesting, 25-year history in design and construction. His career includes a wide variety of positions which have allowed him to expand his skill set and practical knowledge of the field. His background and bottom-up approach have helped to shape him as an architect. 

Will grew up in Kentucky, where he began his career as a laborer on construction sites. After graduating from Washington & Lee University, Will worked as a superintendent for a residential developer in Atlanta. 

Interested in more hands-on experience, Will moved out west to build custom homes in Montana. During his 6 years in Montana, Will transitioned from carpenter to estimator to project manager. 

After years learning about the technical and business side of construction, Will returned to Virginia and earned a Master of Architecture degree from Virginia Tech. Since then, Will has worked for successful architecture firms throughout the south. 

Outside of work, Will enjoys his own design and construction projects, music, and outdoor activities.  Will is married to Catarina Passidomo Townes, of Naples, FL. Catarina is an associate professor at The University of Mississippi. They have two children.
