In his formative years Bill lived and worked in Europe; in Helsinki, as a student with Heikkinen-Komonen working on the New Finnish Embassy for Washington, D.C., and later in Berlin, as the project manager for international architecture competitions with Peter W. Schmidt Architekten. In 1996, he returned to the U.S. where he worked with Michael Ryan Architects in New Jersey and Studios Architecture in California. When not chasing waves along the California coast, Bill can be found exploring the vibrant San Francisco art world or painting in his studio.
