My name is William Katt. I served in the U.S. Navy as a Yeoman, Petty Officer 2nd Class, and completed six years of service (4 active, 2 reserve). I was assigned to the Commanding Officer’s staff aboard the USS Kitty Hawk CV-63, and my primary duties were classified material control.
Other collateral duties I performed involved assisting with conducting security clearance background investigations for the ship’s officers. I was proud to follow in the footsteps of my grandfather, who served aboard the USS Arizona, and my father, who was career Air Force with two tours in Vietnam and received the Bronze Star Medal for his service.
I pursued a civilian career as a Security Specialist and worked 30+ years in the corporate sector. I have worked as an investigator, security services coordinator, and for several years as an executive protection manager for two global corporations. I am currently working as a security director for a contract security company. I am divorced and have two great stepsons. I love auto racing of all types, fishing, and leisure travel.
In June 2020, I experienced kidney failure and am on dialysis, which keeps me alive until I receive a kidney transplant. I would love to regain my health and my active lifestyle.
For medically cleared donors, giving the gift of life through living kidney donation has been proven to be very safe. DOVE will assist all prospective donors throughout the process and make sure they do not incur any out-of-pocket expenses related to the evaluation or surgery. A healthy person can live a normal life with one kidney and save William’s life with the other!
Your support, whether through spreading the word on social media or considering becoming a donor, can make a profound impact on his life and the life of his family!
