William "Wil" Bolander, also known as Reef Williams, was born and raised in the charming town of Northwood, Ohio. During his school years, he was an athletic enthusiast, participating in a variety of sports such as football, basketball, baseball, and soccer.
After completing his education, William attended college in Toledo, where he majored in Accounting. However, it was his involvement in his 7th grade class play, "Who's On First," that sparked his passion for acting, alongside his friend.
Beyond his academic pursuits, William is a certified SCUBA diver, and his love for underwater exploration has taken him to the Treasure Coast of Florida, where he has conducted research diving on the Spanish Galleons of the 1715 and 1733 Fleets. His research has been featured in numerous documentaries focused on the recovery and research of these historic vessels.
In addition to his diving endeavors, William has had a successful career in improv comedy, performing in over 250 live shows between 2000 and 2010 with Off the Cuff in Mesa, Arizona (now Chandler-Gilbert Community College).
Furthermore, William has demonstrated his creative talents by authoring three poetry books: "Dreams," "Dreams Too," and "Dreams Cubed."
