Williams graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1980 with a degree in engineering. He spent almost 22 years in military service, most of it as a Naval Intelligence officer. His duties were multifaceted, including intense intelligence work on a nuclear submarine.
Williams studied both Russian and Mandarin Chinese during his time in the service. He served on board the USS Sampson during the U.S. invasion of Grenada.
