| PROFILE: ART WILLIAMS
/ ACW PRODUCTIONS |
PERSONAL
I began my life’s
adventure in Greenville Hospital on August 3, 1950. My
parents, Art and Norma Williams, raised me along with my sister Sondra
(now Sondra Wiggins) in the Transfer area about one mile from my alma
mater, Reynolds High School.
My dad, a graduate of the
former Transfer High School, and a veteran of
the U.S. Navy, where he served as a Fire Controlman on a destroyer
(U.S.S. McGown 678) in the south Pacific during WW II is retired from
the former CB&I (Chicago Bridge & Iron) Greenville Plant, where he worked for 33 years until the plant closed in 1982.
He
currently resides in the Meadville PA area.
My mom, the former Norma Jean Stuver,
who is now deceased, graduated from Greenville High School in 1944. She
was a Stanley Home Products dealer, softball & basketball coach and a former bus
driver for Reynolds School District.
In addition, my maternal grandparents, Peter and
Mabel Williams (Transfer Area) and Troy and Ruby Stuver (Greenville Area), and their
families were from the Greenville area. My roots and relationships have connected me
fondly to the Greenville area all my life. |
EDUCATION
I attended Transfer Elementary
School in grades 1 through 6 and Reynolds High School in grades 7 through 12. I graduated
from Reynolds in 1969 after lettering in both football and basketball for three
years. I currently hold the career rebounding record with 806 rebounds. I started my
collegiate career at the local branch campus in Farrell with the then Edinboro State
College where I played on the Off-Campus basketball team. I completed my Bachelor of
Education degree on campus in 1974. While teaching in West Virginia, I earned my Masters
Degree in Speech Communication at West Virginia University in 1979. |
TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I began my teaching career at the Whitesville Junior High School in Whitesville, West
Virginia in 1974 and continued there until 1990. I taught a 5th grade self-contained
classroom and a computer class for the 9th grade students. In addition, I was head coach
for the girls’ junior high basketball team and assistant coach with the junior high
boys’ basketball program.
Locally, when I moved back to the Reynolds area in 1990, I substituted as an elementary
teacher in the Greenville, Reynolds, and Sharpsville School Districts. In 1995 and 1996, I
coached a girls and boys varsity basketball program at a local Christian high school where
I also taught a basic computer course. |
VIDEO & INTERNET BUSINESS
In 1989, while still teaching in West
Virginia, I established a video service business, ACW Productions. When I returned home
after the death of my mother in 1990, I continued my video business in the local area.
From 1991, I have worked full time with my video business that has expanded into a variety
of projects and many specialty services. The bulk of my work has been done in the
Greenville area ranging from business to personal projects. I have worked with the Horizon
Hospital System (presently UPMC Horizon), ENT Allergy and Associates, and Trinity
Industries; and have produced football highlight tapes and video scrapbooks of Greenville
High School; filmed Community plays, local dance recitals, proms plus a wide variety of
personal work for people. In 1997, ACW Productions expanded into
the Internet service business
providing web page design & management, domain name registration,
domain site hosting, search engine submission, and specific site marketing.
ACW Productions manages & host over 20 web sites including the following
personal local sites:
Greenville-PA.Com, GreenvilleFootball.Com and ReynoldsWrestling.Com. |
