He is also a member of the Knights of Columbus. Recently, Bill was featured on CatholicPhilly.com and you can read about that article and other publications by clicking here. Here's a little more about him:

He holds a certificate of Computer Science from the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Information Resources. Bill and his wife of over 30 years, Mary Ann, have five children and two grandsons.
