Hi, I’m Billy Walsh! I grew up in Western Massachusetts. Upon graduating high school, I left my small town of Agawam and moved down the coast to Tampa, Florida, to attend the University of Tampa. Moving to Florida was a significant change and shock for me. I had never lived outside of Massachusetts or lived without my family nearby, and on top of that, I was one of very few people to even exit the state for college. Despite that, I knew that it was best to test my adaptability and challange myself by starting a new life in Florida. I’ll be forever grateful for that decision. Throughout my educational experience, I’ve developed interpersonal and problem-solving skills in order to grow my independence. Beyond my personal leaps, the friendships and connections I’ve built in Tampa will last a lifetime, which is another reason I am proud to call Tampa my home. Over the years, I’ve fallen in love with health and fitness, cooking, photography, as well as exploring new locations, restaurants, and experiences with friends.
