With 30 years of major commercial experience, Bill carries an essential client-centric mindset into our project teams. Bill’s authenticity and focus on positive culture (our 4-H’s) produce environments where project teams can commit their entire energy to tangible client benefits in the important areas of safety, quality, schedule and cost management. These team efforts include our design partners, subcontractors and other project participants.

Bill is actively involved in all of our Healthcare, Education and Commercial projects ranging from over $80M, as well as the hundreds of projects completed annually under $250k. He maintains a constant focus on efficiency, simplicity and creating positive project outcomes – in every area and in every detail.

With a father who was an architect and graduated for Ohio State University in Civil Engineering (same for Bill), Bill admits he “grew up in construction”. He and his wife Kathryn have four children; and Bill is an active member of the community, volunteering in both coaching and educational leadership roles.
