Bill Ellison was raised in poverty with the desire to do better and for his family to not go through the same hardships and troubles. In his teens BIll spent some time in foster care due to physical abuse by his mother’s husband ultimately running away from the foster facility and finding himself spending the night in jail when he was 13 years old.

He would not let this define the trajectory of his life and began working at IBM in a co-op program while he was raising himself and trying to finish high school.

From there he began selling homes and in 2016 he started a residential building company called ASGi Homes. ASGi Homes builds affordable housing for families whose price point is between $100K and $200K.

Bill's journey is truly a "rags to riches" story and he is most definitely Street Smart.
