Until February 1, 2025, Colonel Williams served as the RC Coordinator of the Respiratory Care Department at Houston Methodist Hospital – Texas Medical Center, where he played a vital role in advancing clinical excellence and operational efficiency within one of the nation’s leading healthcare institutions.
Reflecting on his career, Colonel Williams stated, “What I’ve enjoyed most about practicing medicine is the opportunity to serve patients at Houston Methodist Hospital for the past 19 years. Being part of such a respected institution has allowed me to collaborate with exceptional colleagues, deliver compassionate, high-quality care, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we treat every day.” His commitment to patient care extended beyond the hospital setting, as he and fellow members of the Texas State Guard (TXSG) provided critical support during disasters and emergencies throughout the state, demonstrating his dedication to serving the community during its most challenging times.
In addition to his distinguished civilian career, Colonel Williams honorably served in the Texas State Guard, Texas Military Forces, where he held multiple key leadership positions.

An honor graduate of the Texas Military Academy’s Command and General Staff College, he rose to the rank of Colonel and earned recognition for his exceptional contributions to disaster management, medical readiness, and Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA). He and his fellow officers and enlisted leaders of the AARC’s Military Community are continuing work to attract more individuals to the field of Respiratory Care and possible co-careers as Military Respiratory Therapists serving in either Federal Military Branches or State Military Departments. They provide guidance on using their knowledge, skills, abilities, and leadership and commitment skills to care for patients and improve the quality of outcomes and lives of the people in their communities, or when called upon they serve in various capacities.
A Senior Military Emergency Management Specialist, Colonel Williams brought hands-on leadership to state-level emergency operations, demonstrating a steadfast commitment to public service and mission readiness. He further advanced the organization by serving as an instructor for the Texas Military Academy’s Officer Basic and Officer Advanced Programs and is actively contributing to the development of a mentorship program for enlisted and officer members of the TXSG, 2nd Brigade.
Beyond his military and hospital leadership roles, Colonel Williams is the owner and principal of a well-established medical-legal consulting firm that specializes in legal cases involving respiratory care, anesthesia technology, healthcare informatics, and respiratory/pulmonary research projects.
