 Bill is a native of Oregon and spent much of his childhood in Northeast Iowa.  

 Following graduation from the University of South Carolina, Bill served as a combat engineer officer in the U.S. Marine Corps. He deployed twice in support of combat operations in Iraq and taught newly commissioned Marine officers at The Basic School in Quantico, Virginia. Thereafter, Bill joined the Foreign Service where he was posted in New Delhi, India and Pretoria, South Africa.
