William Presswood is a single foster/adoptive parent who has fostered over 100 teens and adopted 5.  Being a foster parent helps Bill feel like he is reaching back to help children on his caseload years ago; the ones who had little options out of no fault of their own.  However, with time, good parenting, a stable environment and a high level of commitment, he has seen children transform.  Bill believes that giving youth good memories, healthy emotional anchors, and positive interactions with adults is the most important thing he can provide.

Bill achieved his B.A. in Psychology in 2000 and his M.A. in Sociology in 2002 from the University of West Georgia.  He worked as a foster care case manager in Chatsworth, GA when he was first out of college in 2002.  After relocating to Florida in 2008 he received his M.S. in Environmental Education from Nova Southeastern University and continued on to get his Ed.S. Curriculum and Teaching certification in 2009.  He has his Ed.D. Educational Leadership certification.
