William graduated as a veterinarian (specialization ruminants) at the faculty of veterinary medicine in Ghent, Belgium in 2020. Right after graduation he started working on the ClawCare research project where his focus lies on the effect of preventive hoof trimming on the biomechanics under the hooves of dairy cows. At the ambulatory clinic William is predominantly active in hoof trimming, mobility scoring and lameness consulting. He trims between 3000-4000 cows and combines this with on farm training of last year veterinary students
