Will shares his story about how going back to Samoan ancestral roots can lead to a healthy lifestyle. William Spitzenberg was born from humble beginnings in the villages of Auto & Laulii. His parents instilled in him the importance of getting a good education. With their guidance and inspiration, he went on to complete a Bachelor’s of Science in Civil Engineering from BYU-Provo and a Master’s of Engineering in Environmental Engineering from Tennessee State University. With over 20 years of engineering experience, he now serves as the Chief Engineer and Manager of the American Samoa Power Authority’s Environmental Services Division (ESD) overseeing both Water & Wastewater operations and infrastructures. He enjoys spending time with his children and wife, reading self-improvement books, and listening to inspirational talks by successful people. As a side hobby, he also helps coach people on health and nutrition to help reverse obesity among our community. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
