William was just 10 when his family moved from Kaikohe to Feilding, located in the lower North Island of New Zealand. There, he attended 'Feilding Intermediate' and later graduated from 'Palmerston North Boys' High School.'

William was associated as a youth worker with the charity 'Child, Youth and Family Department' (now 'Oranga Tamariki') for 6 years.

Working with vulnerable children there and bringing smiles on faces eventually gave a direction to his life.

William was in Manawatū when he met Aaron “Nuggie” Smith, who later became the driving force behind his social-media prominence.

The two were quite popular in the Māori community, as they were the only boys to play twilight cricket in Feilding. Also, William's incredible sense of humor was revealed after his friends ‘Highlanders’ player Rob Thompson (rugby union) and ‘All Blacks’ player Aaron Smith shared a few of his videos with their rugby teammates. The videos became viral, and William decided to pursue a career as a comedian and thus touch the lives of people through laughter and joy.
