About William E. Thompson

In January of 2001, William began teaching photojournalism at Randolph Community College in Asheboro, North Carolina. He took this position after a 6-month tour in Kosovo as a Public Affairs officer for the U.S. Army Reserves. Before Kosovo, he was an award winning news photographer for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. He began his photography business in Asheboro as a way to keep connected with his community and continue photographing the world around him. He enjoys photographing children's sporting events, weddings and local events in Asheboro, Greensboro and the Piedmont Triad area. When William is not behind a camera, he is building a wooden sailboat or spending time with his wife and two 15-year-old sons.
