Bill was born on August 10, 1958 in Chanute, Kansas. After a brief stay in Burlington, Iowa, Bill and Family moved to Olathe, Kansas in 1960. There Bill, and brothers Bob, Jim and John did their best to terrorize the community in general, and parents Dick and Marie in particular.

After graduating from Olathe High School in 1976, Bill picked up a B.S. in Journalism from the University of Kansas in 1980, and after a stint in the real world, went back to K.U. to get a M.S. in Computer Science. From 1984 until September 1998, Bill  worked for Hewlett-Packard in various incarnations of its compiler lab. He is currently working for Transmeta on the Crusoe Microprocessor's Code Morphing System.

Besides his family, Bill's interests include:
