Bill is a professional member of the National Speakers Association, and is also the self-proclaimed “Dumbest Guy in Mensa,” (he’s pretty sure the other members agree with his assessment). For the past seven years, he has been the co-owner of his own successful corporate training company whose hundreds of clients include State Farm Insurance, Boeing, American Airlines, Cornell University, Hewlett Packard, Nordstrom, IBM, Lucent Technologies, Oracle, Reuters, Lockheed Martin, Merck & Co., BMW, Paramount Pictures, Starbucks, and the CIA.

Bill is also an accomplished (accomplished being a relative term): musician, juggler, pilot, scuba diver, magician, and tennis player. Conversely, his golf game is a disaster.
