Biography

Early life

Williams was born in Sulphur, Louisiana in 1960 and attended Zachary High School in Zachary, LA (a suburb of Baton Rouge, LA). He attended Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, LA and later served on the Louisiana Board of Regents – Louisiana’s Higher Education governing board – where he served on the Facilities Planning Committee and the Budget Committee for the Regents. He graduated in 1982 with a degree in Business Law and Economics.

Combined Resource Technology

Combined Resource Technology (CRT), Williams' first foray into entrepreneurship, began as a corporate cost cutting business. Under the CRT's business model, which would later be adapted to Environmental Waste Solutions Williams assisted Baton Rouge businesses whose property had been over assessed. While those businesses spent nothing out of pocket for this service, CRT earned half of what they would save [5]

Environmental Waste Solutions

After experiencing success with CRT, Williams saw the growth of the recycling industry and formed Environmental Waste Solutions (EWS) in 1994. Knowing that solid waste disposal would be a growing expense area for businesses across the country, the business model for his new company was focused on cutting those costs while helping businesses go green.[6]

Expansion and Affiliate Programs

In an effort to expand across the country (and globally) Environmental Waste Solutions has also offered to train affiliates, colloquially known within the company as "waste consultants". EWS affiliates provide solid waste management consulting for businesses from a number of industries, with support from Williams and Environmental Waste Solutions' corporate leadership.
