I'm a Christian, a family man, an author and an entrepreneur from St. Charles County, Missouri. I work a full-time job and build on the side, so I know what it's like to stretch your time and your faith.

My foundation is my faith, my perseverance and grit, and my desire to help others. That's where my motto comes from: Love God. Follow Jesus. Help Others.

My grandfather and my dad taught me the same thing: whatever you feel you're supposed to do, do your best at it, and never give up, because quitting is the only way to fail.

William Cecil Edwards is the pen name I write under. It honors three men. William is my middle name. Cecil was my grandfather's first name. Edwards is a small change to my dad's middle name, Edward. It's a tribute to the men who helped mold me.
