Bill was raised on a farm south of Chicago. Wood has always been a part of Bill's life. As a second generation wood-turner, he learned basic woodworking techniques from his father. Even as a young man, his desire was to envision and create new things. This led him to his first career in engineering, and now he has returned to his roots as a full time woodworker.

Much of Bill's early wood work was turning hollow vases inspired by the pottery of Native Americans in the Southwest. Now, he is combining his wood-turning skills with his math and engineering background to create unique wood sculptures. Most of his creations start with the aid of 3D computer simulation. This enables him to view the sculpture from all directions prior to beginning the actual construction of the piece.

Bill and his wife, Pam, have their home and studio in the country north of Prescott overlooking the Williamson Valley.

Bill is a member of the American Association of Woodturners. His work has been shown in Fine Woodworking Magazine, Fine Woodworking's special issue on Woodturning Basics, and has been published in Woodturning Design Magazine. His work is in private collections in North America, Europe, South America, and Australia. He was the featured artist in an issue of "Peaks & Plains" magazine.
