Willis has worked on various Adult Swim shows that are created primarily by Williams Street, an animation-centered, Atlanta-based production division of Cartoon Network. Willis was hired by Ghost Planet Industries after giving the producers a formal letter of recommendation written in crayon, seemingly by a young child. They liked his sense of humor and hired Willis as a writer for Cartoon Planet in 1995 and then as a writer for Space Ghost Coast to Coast soon after. In early 2000, he helped write and produce the two Brak Presents the Brak Show Starring Brak specials. While working on Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Willis met Matt Maiellaro, with whom he would later create many independent short films and the Adult Swim cartoon Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Aqua Teen Hunger Force first premiered unannounced in the early hours of December 30, 2000 and later officially debuted on Adult Swim. The series would air until 2015 before being revived in 2023, serving as Cartoon Network's longest running series; Willis returned to Williams Street to produce the revival. In 2005, he co-created the show Squidbillies. His works mostly fall into the genre of surreal humour. In 2010, Willis created Cheyenne Cinnamon and the Fantabulous Unicorn of Sugar Town Candy Fudge, a new television pilot for Adult Swim. The pilot aired on March 29, 2010, and was not picked up for a full series. In 2011, Willis co-wrote "New Kidney in Town", an episode of Family Guy.

Willis was born in Wichita Falls, Texas, and was raised mostly in Conyers, Georgia. He graduated from Wake Forest University and was station manager at Wake Radio. He resides in Atlanta with his wife and two children, Max and Sadie.
