VOICES OF HOPE
Will
Will grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah and is the youngest of three. At 18 years old he came out as gay and spent a few years away from the Church, thinking he couldn’t be gay and a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He moved to San Francisco with his boyfriend where he had a spiritual awakening that would forever alter the course of his life. Eventually, Will came back to Church and later served a two year, full-time mission in Alberta, Canada.
Soon after returning home, he served in various church callings including second counselor in an Elder’s Quorum Presidency, Elders Quorum President, Ward Mission Leader, and Temple Worker.
He graduated from the University of Utah, then took his adventures back to the state of California, to Los Angeles. Most recently he moved back to Salt Lake City and started a business that enables families to explore and preserve their own life stories. He is still writing his story with much more to come, but he is honored to share where he is at today (filmed in April 2018) through the Voices of Hope Project.

It isn’t easy to stand in your truth and fully represent your life experiences, but over the years I’ve learned that this is the only way to live.
