As the CEO and founder of FreemanCapital.co, he aims to empower millennials and the middle class with the tools to become wealthy. Williams’ years of financial service experience along with lessons inspired by his great-grandparents ignited the inception of FreemanCapital.co.

FreemanCapital.co was also invited to be one of six companies to participate in the Capital Connects Venture event sponsored by the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce. Since age 12, Williams has had an entrepreneurial spirit starting his first business venture, a lawn care service. As a freshman at North Carolina Agricultural & State University, Williams began designing websites for non-profit organizations. After graduation, he started XMG Web Designs and built websites and web applications for numerous types of organizations over 9 years. During that time he was named the youngest 40 Leaders Under 40 by the Greensboro Business Journal and the Bryan School of Business at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Williams was a member of the City of Greensboro Planning Board and Joseph House. The Laurel, Maryland native enjoys spending time with his wife and son.
