Roy Williams Foundation

Board Member

I grew up in a suburb outside of Louisville, Kentucky. Every male in my family has served in the military and I followed along turning down an athletic scholarship to college.

US Navy 1989-1993
Gulf War Vet

1993-2014 Louisville Metro Police Department:

Undercover Street Crimes Detective
Narcotics Sergeant
Commander Violent Crime Unit
ATF gun task force
US Marshals Task Force

Founding Member of Peer Support Unit

CIT Certified (Crisis Intervention Team)

Involved in multiple Critical Incidents (shootings, officer-involved deaths)

After getting injured in the Middle East, receiving disability, and then serving 21 years in the police department, I know what it's like to struggle with things that we have all seen during our times in service. I met Roy right when he moved to town and we became fast friends. Roy was a lot like me when I was younger. My sole reason for being part of this foundation is to help young men and women deal with issues and provide them hope.
