William Cawley

William Cawley has been an engineer, photographer, dog lover, writer, and now he is our Editor-in-Chief at The King Live. 
 
Experience
 
Before joining the team, William was an engineer, working at several production facilities of some well-known vacuum brands on the market. During the first five years of his career, William worked as a Motor Engineer. This exciting job allowed him to be involved in the motor designing process of traditional vacuum cleaner types like canisters and uprights. As motors play an important role in the overall cleaning capabilities of any vacuum type, he had a great time getting his hands dirty while learning how to analyze and validate the motor design. 
 
In his late twenties, William became a System Engineer and stayed at this job for more than ten years. During this extensive period, he looked at how a final vacuum cleaner should be made. His rich experience as a motor design engineer in his earlier career gave him useful skills to excel in this job. William enjoyed exploring and refining the operation of vacuums’ filters, then defined how it should work to get rid of pollutants, allergens, and dust particles. Having a great time collaborating with other team members to generate innovative concepts for new filtering technologies, his advice to the design team was invaluable. It helped them improve the filtration system performance. 
 
After getting married and building his own family, this young dad decided to step off the beaten path and pull off a major career change. He left behind a decent paycheck and stability to work as a writer - a job that he’s believed to matter more to him. It has proved to be absolutely worth the risk, as he can help his customers at The King Live pick reasonably-priced yet well-constructed products.
