William Layton (a short biography)
Will Layton grew up on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Lehigh University in 1992. Following graduation, he attended Aviation Officer Candidate School in Pensacola Florida where he received his commission as a Naval Officer. He moved from Pensacola to Milton Florida for flight school, and then on to Meridian, MS and Lemoore, CA after getting winged.
For the next seven years, William Layton lived in the San Joaquin valley, moving four times and calling three different squadrons his own. On the way home from his second six-month deployment to the Persian Gulf, he met his future wife, Dacia, in Perth Australia. An American, she was on a semester abroad from The Ohio State University.
Will and Dacia Layton moved to Japan after getting married. They traveled the world but soon found themselves back in Virginia Beach. After his fourth, and likely final, six-month cruise, Will Layton left the active duty Navy and joined Fighter Squadron Composite 12 (VFC-12) as a Navy Reservist, where he still flies the F/A-18 Hornet.
Will’s passion for real estate began in 2004 when he and Dacia renovated their first home in Norfolk, VA. Now Will works with a team of experienced professionals and helps his clients buy and sell homes in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake.
