Bill Graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University with a B.S. degree in Aeronautical Science. It was there that his interest in programming started. Programming came natural to him, and while at school Bill developed a "Dungeons & Dragons" computer game written entirely in the Basic Computer language. Bill joined the California Air National Guard in 1983, where his programming talent was put to practical use. Prior to going to Pilot training for the 115^th Airlift Squadron he was tasked with developing a scheduling and personnel management application for the California Air National Guard. These applications tracked member currency, qualifications, and availability and crew positions. They would produce flight authorizations, travel orders, deployment orders as well as related documents. After returning from Pilot Training as a C130 Pilot he updated the program and in 1987 Bill added some network functionality. That was the last update needed to the program. The system worked so well that the Guard used that program for nearly 18 years. It wasn't until 2001 when the applications he wrote in 1983, and updated in 1987, were retired by the military.

In June of 1987 Bill was hired by Flying Tigers as a Pilot and joined FedEx in 1989 with the merger. In 1995, Bill started designing web sites and began video/audio streaming on the side. In 1998 he began work on the FedEx Pilots Association's web sites where he built and managed the union's Electronic Data Protection Committee. The committee designed, built and deployed the Union's data, web and phone systems.

In December of 2003 Bill Retired from the Air Guard with over 20 Years of service.
