Speaker:
Bill grew up in southern Illinois in the small town of Chester (the home of Popeye). His father told him it was easier to live in the South, so Bill pursued an education at Spring Hill College in Mobile, where he graduated with a BS in Sociology. Early in his career, Bill, as VP of Operations, helped automate and grow Diamond Head, Inc. until it was sold to a Fortune 500 company. Ever the entrepreneurial spirit, he then started, grew, and sold Voicecom, Inc. Bill then teamed up with partner Steve Guthrie to start Blue Ocean Technologies in 2006. After almost 20 years of award-winning sales experience in the telecommunication field, Bill's current business goal as CEO of Blue Ocean is to help businesses adopt the new emerging voice technologies so they can take their businesses to the next level!
Bill was recently recognized by the Birmingham Business Journal as a Top CEO in the 1-25 employees category. He also serves on the Board of Holy Family Cristo Rey Catholic High School and facilitates St. Mark's Spiritual Book Club. Bills primary source of enjoyment, however, is his wife Betsy and their 6 children. Bill placed 4th in the 1997 U.S. National Hot Air Balloon Championship and also scuba dives, rides motorcycles, camps, canoes, and enjoys sailing.
