About Me
Hello, my name is Will Jackson and I am a freshman at Duke.
Name Pronunciation
The pronunciation of my relatively simple name depends on which side of my family you ask. My mother's family, hailing from the grand town of Tramway, North Carolina, pronounces my name "whEEl." However, the rest of the world pronounces my name "Will Jack-sun."
My Favorite Demo
