My name is Erol Williams (EJ) and I am a descendant from Stephen Island (Ugar) in the Torres Strait. I was born in Darwin Northern Territory, but lived most of my life in Cairns, Far North Queensland. In March 2007, I enlisted into the Royal Australian Navy where I joined as a Maritime Logistics Chef Submariner. I am a proud father of 4 children to my loving and very supportive wife Bree.
A very proud moment during my service in the Royal Australian Navy, is seeing my oldest son, Samson qualify as a Submariner, setting and maintaining our family’s strong work ethic and being a deadly role model to his younger siblings; Ezekiel, Amarlie and Izaac.
