During his childhood he was a member of the Federation Stellar Scouts.

Williams was accepted into Starfleet Academy at the age of 17, though he had already completed several long distance learning classes that counted towards Academy credits.

He served his cadet cruise aboard the USS Polaris.

After spending three years with the Starfleet Judge Advocate Corps Williams left for a position in the Security Department aboard his child home, Deep Space Four.  He left the station to serve aboard the USS Pecheron for three months as acting Chief of Security. 

By 2370 he was a Lieutenant and serving at Utopia Planitia as a Security Team Leader. Williams, along with Commander Kiva of Jupiter Station, was instrumental in foiling a Maquis attempt to aquire three metaphasic shield generators. He was awarded the Starfleet Medal of Commendation for his actions that day.

The following year Captain Gedna Tachion selected him as the USS Lionheart's first Chief of Security.

While enroute to join the Lionheart aboard the USS Valley Forge, the ship's CO, Captain Ronald Garrett, informed him of the his father's disappearance along with the rest of  the USS Voyager's crew.  One the same journey he and Lieutenant  Junior Grade Meridian Janos would have an eventful dinner with Garrett.

In mid 2372 he was promoted to Lieutenant Commander and Second Officer of the Lionheart.

While aboard the Lionheart, he was ordered by JAG to begin a quiet invesitgation of this ship's Chief Engineer, Roger Deict.  This inquiry would be instrumental in convicitng Deict of treason in 2373.  After learning Deict had been sentenced to be executed, Williams resigned his commission in disgust.
