He is the author or co-author of over 24 books on D.C.’s neighborhoods or D.C.-themed histories with his husband Greg and other authors. Williams is excited to bring both his preservation expertise and his experience in the death-positive movement to serve those in need while living in the Oak Hill Cemetery gatehouse and working full time as the cemetery’s 14th superintendent, assisting residents find their “final forwarding address.”
