A Florida native, Will returned to the sunshine state to settle in Hernando County with his wife Nicole and two children.
In high school, Will was a multiyear letter winner in baseball and also played football. He was also the starting 2nd baseman on the Indiana State All-Star Baseball team (North) in the Babe Ruth High School age division as a freshman.
Will founded the Gulf Coast Sports Network to capture the memories of the children in our community through their love of sport. It is his hope that families and players will enjoy their on-field experiences now and in the future when they desire to reminisce of family, friends, and the love of the game.
Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Bill spent a great deal of his early days at the Oakland Coliseum. It was there where he witnessed the evolution of some of the greatest players in baseball and where his love for the game became deep-rooted. Bill believes that one of the greatest services our community can provide to our youth is the exposure and opportunity to be involved in organized athletics. Through coaching in local baseball organizations and helping launch GCSN, Bill is proud to be supporting the aspirations of young athletes.
Bill excelled as an athlete in both baseball and football through high school and joined the U.S. NAVY upon graduation. He currently resides in Spring Hill, FL with his wife and three sons.
After earning a BFA in Graphic Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design, Hilary began her career in San Diego, CA where she specialized in Graphic Design for Print, Web, and Social Media Marketing/Advertising. As her career grew, so did her location. She finally settled in Spring Hill, FL with her husband and three boys.
From a young age, sports has always been an important part of Hilary’s life. In High School, she kept busy with Soccer, Basketball, and Softball and was named Athlete of the Year her senior year. During her college years, Hilary dominated the softball field at shortstop and was said to have “one of the hottest bats east of the Mississippi” by The Georgia Guardian, breaking school records at the plate. Hilary is proud to share her passion for sports with her children who are just beginning their journey to great things.
Between her computer graphics skills, creativity and knowledge of the game, Hilary plays a key role in helping GCSN grow into an organization that focuses on the support of young athletes at the community level.
Born and raised in Northern Indiana, Nicole began her athletic journey like most Hoosiers…with a basketball. That early experience led her to other athletic opportunities and in high school she was a 4 year letter winner and also captain of the girls swim team her junior and senior years. Nicole set the school record for the 400m freestyle relay in her senior year. She was also a 3 year letter winner on the volleyball team.
As a mother of two and a dedicated “team mom”, Nicole believes in the mission of the Gulf Coast Sports Network as she understands the difficulty of having more than one child involved in youth sports. “All too often, we are only able to attend one game while we miss another“. It comforts her to know that the parents can still live the experience with their family and player through the broadcasts as well as share them with family members from all over the country.
Nicole lives in Hernando County with her husband Will and two children.
