A graduate of West Point, he served in the US Army Signal Corps in Germany, Cambodia (US Embassy in Phnom Penh), and Korea before moving into commercial telecommunications. Earning 3 masters degrees and 2 patents, Bill held marketing/sales directorships at major corporations. His work helped spark the facsimile machine revolution and build-out in cellular systems and internet, with Bill and his products receiving many public accolades. The prestigious magazine "Electronic Business" headlined one of his developments as a "Secret Success Story." The American Management Association heralded this effort as doing business "Japanese style to beat the Japanese at their own game." Other efforts have resulted in what the communications industry has called "world-beater" products. Starting Bill off on a creative career, he developed an innovative solution to a major encryption problem while in Cambodia. A few years later, one of his own, early inventions received notice in many publications, to include "Newsweek" and "Playgirl." His innovative mnemonic method "Learn Morse Code in One Hour (or even 10 minutes)!" helped 1000s pass amateur-radio code tests -- and is now free on-line. Bill lives in Chicagoland and volunteers in a number of community service organizations, eg, Rotary, VFW, and CHARACTER COUNTS!, serving in various leadership roles. In his spare time, Bill unabashedly admires George Washington and studies strategic action. The book "George Washington's Liberty Key" is a result of Bill's extensive research about Mount Vernon's Bastille key and the extraordinary, enabling, and ennobling character of George Washington.
