About Bill

“Early on, I was drawn to the world of music and dance where, as a teenager, I enrolled in my hometown ballet academy. After two years, I graduated from high school. I continued to pursue my ballet dance training for an additional 3 and 1/2 years but was forced to quit due to an injury.”

“Realizing my career as a professional ballet dancer was no longer possible, I began to pursue other dance styles, all the while wondering, ‘What if I could no longer dance?’. I really did not know what I would do because, as long as I can remember, I only wanted to be a dancer. But as I look back, I am so thankful to God for having this in his plan for me.”

Landing a job with Arthur Murray Dance Studios as an instructor sealed the deal. Bill soon found himself drawn to the dramatic International Style Latin side of dancing, taking his love of dance to the next level: the competitive dance circuit.

Prior to his retirement, Bill won the U.S. National Championships four times, represented the United States, and became a two-time finalist of the World Latin Championships, placing fifth one year and sixth another.. Bill secured a name for himself as one of the most admired DanceSport competitors to have graced the dance floor.

After 15 years as a successful DanceSport competitor, Bill made the decision to retire from competition and begin adjudicating competitions and coach other Professional couples.
