Meet the Founders

Brian Wentzel, Congressman Ron Paul & William Hamburg

(C.E.O./Owner) William Hamburg Bio:

William Hamburg was born on a hot humid Spring evening in Belize, Central America in 1986. Soon after, Hamburg and his mother, went back to Milwaukee, Wisconsin where Hamburg met his brother Brian and sister Michelle for the first time. After spending one very cold winter in Wisconsin, they all decided to move to beautiful Sedona, Arizona to escape the cold and enjoy the warmth . Ever since he was a young kid, Hamburg knew that he would be an entrepreneur of some kind. Working with his mother who owned several magazines and a video production company Hamburg learned quick through being an office administrator as young as 16 years old. After graduating high school from Sedona Red Rock High, Hamburg decided to travel before attending any kind of college. After a couple years of traveling the United States, Mexico, Canada and Central America he landed back in Sedona helping his mother again with her businesses while attending online school at the University of Phoenix in pursuit of a B.A. in Green Business and Sustainable Enterprise.

By 2009, his mother no longer wanted to pursue the Green business and wanted to focus on her local businesses and Hamburg purchased Green Lifestyles on Planet Paradise™ from her on October 13, 2009. Since then, Hamburg and his brother Brian Wenztel came together and combined each others businesses under the parent corporation, WBMC, Inc.
