His articles have appeared in MSDN Magazine, the C# Developer Center, Visual C++ Developer's Journal, Visual Studio Magazine, ASP.NET Pro, .NET Developer's Journal and more. He's written hundreds of technical articles for software developers. He actively blogs about technical and business topics. Bill is also a regional director for Microsoft.

Bill regularly speaks at national and regional conferences such as DevIntersection, CodeMash, ThatConference, and Agile and Beyond. He also speaks to developer groups throughout the world on topics ranging from C# to TypeScript to Software Engineering practices.

He spent eight years as a self-employed consultant before founding a consulting company in Ann Arbor. He grew that company in to an Inc 500/5000 company, and eventually sold it to Atomic Object in 2013. Bill was also awarded Automation Alley's Emerging Technology Leader award in 2011.
