Bill started his work career as an automotive technician and then changed his occupation to the Merchant Marines where he worked for over 30 years, achieving Chief Engineer status in 2008, until he retired in 2011. During this time Bill was able to travel and visit many ports both domestic and foreign. He was a member of the Meduncook Masonic Lodge in Friendship, ME and a Noble in the Kora Shriners.
