Bill was a 1975 graduate of Mannington High School and a graduate of Fairmont State College. He was a member of the St. Patrick Catholic Church in Mannington and he regularly attended the Bee Gum United Methodist Church in Mannington with his family. Bill was a member of the National Association of Realtors and a past member of the West Virginia Century 21 Brokers' Council, having served as Vice President and Treasurer.

Bill started his real estate career in 1980. From 1986 to 2006 he was Vice President and Associate Broker of Springston Real Estate, West Virginia's oldest, continuously operating real estate brokerage firm. From 2006 to 2020, he served as President and Designated Broker of Springston Real Estate. From 2020 until his passing, he was an Associate Real Estate Broker with Springston Real Estate. Bill was also the sole owner of a real estate appraisal and consulting business since 1981. Bill always said, "if you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life".

At the time of his passing, Bill served as Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of First Exchange Bank having served on the board since 1989.

A jack of all trades, he was also a licensed life insurance agent.

Bill enjoyed watching football and basketball, reading, old movies, classic rock and roll, and any chance he could get to spend time with his family. Whether it was a hockey game, an RV trip, or a Sunday dinner, he always prioritized family time. He enjoyed attending Mountaineer football and basketball games with his son, Richie, and his brother, Paul. He loved his annual trips to Florida so much that even forest fires and hurricanes couldn't chase him away. If you needed advice on anything, Bill was the one you could ask. The knowledge he had about life was immense and he never hesitated to help someone or share his experiences. He was always the first to share a story or a joke.
