William Hubbard grew up in Greenwood, South Carolina, where he was homeschooled through high school. He then attended Clemson University for his undergraduate studies in agricultural engineering where he gained diverse experience as an intern at a grain export facility for Archer Daniels Midland at the port of Galveston, Texas. He also worked as a public works intern, mapping the storm water infrastructure of the City of Anderson, South Carolina; then as a dairy farm worker at LaMaster Dairy; and as a marketing intern for Capsugel, Inc.

After graduation, William decided to pursue law school at the University of South Carolina. While in law school, he acquired a wide range of practical legal experience in insurance, corporate, and criminal law through his work with both large and small firms while tailoring his studies to estate planning, probate, and related legal topics.

William now focuses on estate planning, probate and trust-related work. He strives for excellence in all his professional work, and he seeks to put client relationships and thoughtful planning at the center of his practice.

William resides in Seneca, South Carolina, with his wife, Missy. He enjoys athletics, writing, reading, and collecting new additions for his growing personal library. He also produces "The Layman's Historian Podcast," a semi-regular series of podcast episodes covering ancient and medieval history.
