Bill's Story

Here's my story from June 1969 to present: Went to USAF Academy in CO, graduating 1973. At USAFA, finished #2 out of ~1400 incoming freshman in obstacle course - where #1 was our top gymnast and #3 ran back kicks for the football team & sprinted on the track team. Went to UCLA for Masters, graduating with concentration in Finance in June 1974. In USAF had assignments in FL, MT, Arctic Circle, and FL again as Instructor at the Interceptor Weapons School. Joined Ford Finance at Car Product Development in Dearborn MI in 1978. Met wife Joanne in Ann Arbor, married in 1980. Joined Emerson Electric Co in St. Louis in 1983, departing in late 1999 having been VP level from '92 to '99. Among most interesting EMR assignments were managing $800 Mil Pension Fund and $2 Bil creative financings. Went into Trade Show business as SVP & CFO, maximizing my company stock holdings until 9-11-2001 when company value declined from $250 Mil to Zero. Then joined Diebold in Canton OH in 2002 until 2008 - where we enjoyed playing a major role in the "electronic voting sc...Expand for more
andal" that also became the "foundational scandal" in the "Defiance" (County OH) episode 7, season 2 of the "Scandal" TV series. DBD stock dropped from $58 to $23 in the wake of the scandal. Moved to Troy OH 2008 to 2017 to join a Private Equity-owned company as CFO and then CEO. Finished my business career as Operating Partner & Sr Advisor for Dunes Point Capital until 2020. Left Troy OH in freezing rain & snow on Feb 1, 2017 to arrive in beautiful Citrus Hills, FL a few days later. (We have no intention of moving again; this is our 12th house in 44 years!) About to take up golf again this year after a long hiatus. We expect to travel extensively during the next several years - with Michigan, Hawaii, Italy & Mediterranean on the list. I've been fortunate to travel around the world several times on business. Made "deals" & helped manage businesses in most major countries. 2 adventures included: locked into Red China before the barriers came down and detained in Colombia due to "illegal entry" - sub-stories for another time! --end, as of 5-23-24
