Bill is personally inspired by leaders who… create something
complex and make it simple for use in a wide variety of products or
processes for everyday use
Bill’s favorite quote is from Norman Vincent Peale … Shoot for
the moon. Even if you miss you’ll land among the stars.
What Bill enjoys doing when not working… Climbing mountains,
sailing, skiing, carpentry and global travel. Bill is learning all he can
about animal husbandry, so he is ready when the time comes to stock
his ranch with horses and cattle.
