Bill grew up in Lynchburg, VA and became fascinated with aviation when his mom, a single parent, purchased a ride for him at a local airshow. This started him on the trajectory of Jr AFROTC in High School, USAFA, USAF B-52 and B-1 pilot career to United Air Lines 727, 757, 767, 777, and A320 pilot career, to aviation instructor and professor at Hampton Univ, and now United Fleet Technical Instructor. Not bad for a CS-33 Cellar Rat!
