The Williams are members of Lake Bethlehem Baptist Church located on MLK Drive. Patrick is self-employed and owner of an Architectural/Engineering Consultant firm, Williams Enterprises, LLC. Patrick is also the owner of the ODYSSEY Sound Lab, LLC Recording Studio. Williams has demonstrated his concern for education by creating the Learning to the Music 8th grade math LEAP project through a non-profit organization, ODYSSEY Foundation for the Arts. Williams is a graduate of the Class of Emerging Community Leaders and a Graduate of Leadership Louisiana. He has served on the board of directors of the Downtown Development Authority and Downtown Shreveport Unlimited. Williams says he has an invested interest in downtown and wants to see downtown grow as a business hub as well as a residential area. Williams is one of the first to actually make downtown Texas Street his home.

Patrick C. Williams has always had the aspiration to serve the area in which he was reared. As a native of the Martin Luther King area (“Copper Road”), Williams received his education from Newton Smith and Northside Elementary schools, Linear Middle School, and Green Oaks High School, where he was active in the student government.  Patrick continued his education at Southern University where he received a bachelor’s degree in Architecture Engineering.  He then received his master’s (MBA) from Centenary College, and is currently pursuing his PhD. in Applied Management and Decision Science with a specialization in Organizational Leadership from Walden University.

Patrick C. Williams' core values are faith, family, integrity, justice, loyalty, and respect. He notes just having experience and education is not the only qualifications, but more importantly you need a love for the people in the community in which you are willing to serve. Having a commitment and an invested interest in serving people and not yourself are the most important criteria as a public servant. Williams’ primary focus as the State Representative has been education, healthcare reform, and the elderly. As Commissioner, Williams has represented most of the precincts in District #4 under his Caddo Parish Commission District #7 seat in which he held from 2000-2004.
