Equiano “Shaq” Williams grew up in Trinidad until his late teens when he moved to the US to join his parents. Without his parents around, Shaq is a true village child and quickly developed an open mind towards the world and his experience. Culture and community have always been of the highest values.

After earning a degree in Math and Physics from Lock Haven University in 2017, Coach Shaq has passionately pursued Wellness Coaching. BetterFunctioningBiology was started in 2020 to expand his coaching to more than just boxing as he continues to study physiology, psychology, yoga, and so many more modalities to help his clients. Shaq is unique, a natural leader and a gifted coach, inspiring those around him to achieve optimal health in mind, body, and spirit.
