Williams' wife is a cancer survivor. Since her recovery in 2019, she workouts out every morning. She used to be a dance instructor in Venezuela. They have twins- girl and boy, they play basketball for Fulton County. Williams' 72-year-old mother, who also worships at St. Andrew, worksout with him every afternoon.
Williams' desire to help the St. Andrew community grew from an idea he had while seating at Mass in the summer of 2024. In his homily, Fr. Juan was talking about how our body is a temple and a gift from God and how we are called to treat our bodies with respect and honor God through our physical and spiritual well-being. Williams wants to share his experience and knowledge so we can do exactly that.
