William Reed lives with his wife of 42 years in Loomis, California. He was raised in Ridgefield, Connecticut, where he developed a fascination with history as a boy while playing in cemeteries throughout the communities where he lived in the Eastern part of the United States. Intrigued by head stones and monuments as well as stories related by his uncle, who was a Tuskegee Airmen, William developed a desire to learn more about the heroes and patriots that helped form our nation. In the process, he also learned more about American history and the contribution of black Americans. This interest helped him realize that the knowledge of history must be studied and shared to help all better understand this great nation in which we live.

He served in the US Navy from 1964 to 1974 as an air intelligence officer including three years in Viet Nam and four years at the National Intelligence Center in Washington D. C.

William received a BA in psychology from University of Maryland, and PHD from Fairfield University. He worked as a Social and Industrial Organization Psychologist for E. I. Dupont. He retired in 1990 but has not remained idle.

Raising an adult son, who was diagnosed with autism as a child 40 years ago, has given William and his wife an appreciation for the importance of domestic workers. Since his diagnosis William has devoted himself to learning about autism and has served as a mentor to countless parents of autistic children.

In 2005 he began to serve as a volunteer in the United Domestic Workers of California and is currently serving as its Secretary-Treasurer. He also represents UDW on the Executive Board of the Sacramento Central Labor Council and advocates for caregivers and social justice.

William also works part time as a volunteer for Placer County In Home Support Services.
