Bill's Story
On the professional side, after graduation in 1978 from IUP with a degree in accounting, I got a job in public accounting (became a CPA in 1981). Worked as an auditor of small to medium sized privately held companies and ended up spending 18 years in the profession with three different firms. Left the profession in 1996 and spent the next 15 years working in the private sector in various capacities (controller/accounting manager/CFO) for three different companies and retired in 2011.
On the personal side, after graduation, moved to Pittsburgh and lived in Shadyside for three years. Married my college sweetheart in 1979 and in 1981 we moved to Cranberry Twp. located about 25 miles northwest of the city where we lived until 2016.

ocated in Oconee County in the northwest corner of the state). We live in a community called Keowee Key, which is located on Lake Keowee. We are about one hour from Greenville, SC and about two hours from Charlotte, NC and Atlanta, GA. If you like country living as we do (beautiful lake, scenery, rural, quiet, slow pace, mild winters, etc.) then this is a pretty great place to be retired.
We have three kids (son, 38 and two daughters, 37 and 31). Our son currently lives in Grand Junction, Co but we are very fortunate to have both girls close by (about 30 minutes) in Easley, SC. We have four grandkids, two in Colorado (ages 10 and 7) and two here (ages 5 and 3). There is plenty to do here but my two favorite activities are playing tennis and spending time with the grandkids.
