CarverVocational Technical High School and Coppin University in Baltimore, MD, helped mold Bill into the man that he is today. Before heading out to California, Bill performed in theatre

, industrial films, commercials, and feature films that filmed in the Baltimore/Washington D.C. area including “The Accidental Tourist”, a Lawrence Kasdan film w/William Hurt, Kathleen Turner and Geena Davis, forwhich she won an Academy Award.

So compassionate about acting, that when things were nil in the Baltimore/D.C. area, he'd commute to New York by train to find work.

As a union representative for many years at Koppers Co., Bill fought hard for his fellow workers. In 1984 he produced and performed his labor song "SOLIDARITY", which he was inspired to write after participating in the "SOLIDARITY DAY MARCH" in Washington D.C. Pete Seeger, the living legend of folk music/labor songs, heard about this funky labor tune via the "blue-collar" grapevine, contacted Bill and asked him to perform with him at labor rallies. "SOLIDARITRY" can be found in the book "CARRY IT ON! A HISTORY IN SONG AND PICTURE OF AMERICA'S WORKING MEN AND WOMEN" by Pete Seeger & Bob Reiser.

In 1988, the acting "itch" became too big to scratch in the B-moe/D.C. area so Bill headed out west. Now in Los Angeles, Bill has continued honing his graft as an actor, as well as completing the Film Making Program at LACC. He wrote and is producing the feature film “The Mayor of Harlem” which he adapted from the stage play by Fred Geiger,

He has also written an action/comedy feature length screenplay, “OFFICER DONUT”; co-wrote the feature length screenplays “Test of Faith” and “GREED”, with fellow Baltimorean, James Bass, and a one act stage play for teens called, Attitude Adjustment”.
