Bill's Story
Life
After graduation, I went to UW and had too much fun. I had a short stop in the Coast Guard Reserves, Nov. 71 until May 72. Then I became a Journeyman Steamfitter for eleven years. I ending up working for MMSD. Got married, got divorced. Met a wonderful girl while at the MMSD and got married ten years later. I was bored with work so went back to school and received my Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering at CSUS. Worked for Campbell Soup for 7 years in Sacramento, CA. Transferred to Chicago for a year working for Pepperidge Farms. Came back to California and worked as a Plant Engineer for Reynolds Metals Company. Ball Corporation bought the RMC Aluminum can/end division and closed the plant and gave me an offer I could refuse. Worked for Pepsi for one year in San Francisco as the Maintenance Manager. I worked for Kraft Foods from 2000 as the Engineering & Maintenance Manager. Promoted to the Business Unit Manager (Operations Manager) in 2001. They wanted my soul, and our...Expand for more
family decided my soul was worth much more so.....In 2004 started my own Engineering Consulting Business, called B2 Engineering. The 2 actually stands for squared, bb, for bill bickler. I have a twenty two year old son, Alex who is my best bud along with his mom, Therese, Greendale High '78. Our son, Alex, graduated from University of San Diego this January and will be working in the financial district of San Francisco. We are proud parents. I retired my internet radio station due to it becoming boring. Email me and I would love to get some conversations going with some people from good ol' PU. Recently retired, Dec 2014, and re-retired this December. General Mills asked if I would be a Construction Manager for the decommissioning of a plant 25 miles from my home and since I wasn't doing really anything exciting, besides going to Italy with Dean and Laureen Bentzien, I agreed to return for a couple months. Completely retired now.
