Wil Willis was born into a military family and lived on military bases until he enlisted in the Army in 1993. He served with the Army's 3rd Ranger Battalion until 1998 then cross-trained into the Air Force and became a Pararescueman until 2008. Because of his background, (all he ever cared about was having an adventure) he has a broad range of experience and interests from weapons and tactics, to medicine and trauma, to medieval fantasy and romance. He loves a good story; hearing them as much as telling them. Wil has two associate's degrees, one in Survival and Rescue and another in Military Science and Technology. He studied International Relations with a Concentration in International Conflict at American Military University, Human Resources at Southern Illinois University, and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Screenwriting from the New York Film Academy. "I've been a Ranger, a PJ, a cabbie, bartender, TV show host, personal trainer, dump-truck driver, husband, ex-husband, cheated on, beaten on, leaned on, and believed in; I'd say I've experienced just about every human emotion this world has to offer and I bring that experience and pathos into everything I do."
