We Believe
Wizard Academy
Williams founded Wizard Academy in May 2000 as a non-profit 501c3 educational institution located in Austin, Texas. The institutions goal was to provide in-depth teaching of the communication arts and the principals and philosophy espoused in Williams Wizard of Ads trilogy. The Academy was the brainchild of his wife, Pennie Williams, as a way to get her husband off the road. "Instead of sending him to them for a few hours, why not let them all come to Austin for a few days?"
