William Castro is a native of the Virgin Islands, also known as
\nAmerica\u2019s Paradise. The road that brought him to Western NC and the Community Health Worker field was filled with curves and bumps. Leaving home to join the USMC at 18, he came to North Carolina for training. After two consecutive tours of duty in Iraq, a string of bad decisions landed him an open count of murder and facing a life sentence at a minimum. While in the system, he realized that he couldn\u2019t continue doing the things he was doing. He decided to make the most of the time he was behind bars. Service became the focus of his attention.
\nHe realized that the greatest sense of purpose came while he was in the service of something greater than himself.<\/p>\n

Castro is an avid reader. He loves good music, and who doesn\u2019t like great food? He has found a home in Western NC and, more importantly, a home on the OG Team. This work is more than just a job to him. His greatest passion is seeing people overcome insurmountable odds and learning how they did it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
