Bill is an accomplished speaker offering insights from his book titled Go The Distance, which shows us how to make strides towards achieving our dream goals, how to redefine finish lines as starting lines, and how to find the strength to take one more step. Bill is currently working on his second book Striding to Success, which builds upon the skills learned in his first book and provides tools to push the envelop even further with explosive strategies and anecdotes that are sure to have readers crossing finish lines that once seemed unattainable.

Bill began running in his teenage years but only after a near fatal motorcycle collision did he realize how important a role it played in his life. Since then, he has overcome many hurdles to successfully compete in over 150 road races and 50 marathons – in many as a seeded runner, both nationally and internationally. Bill is a member of the 50 State Club having completed 32 states. His personal goal is to finish all 50 states within the next 3 years. Running and the commitment it demands has contributed to shaping the way Bill thinks and in turn, achieves his goals. By using his many victories Bill has enjoyed both personally and professionally, he coaches others to test their own limits and achieve their goals.

Currently, Bill is the Regional Vice President for a major financial institution. In his 30 years of service to the financial services industry, he has developed the opportunity to work with a variety of clients and businesses and as a result, has a versatile and highly professional approach to providing superior service and sound council in a timely manner. Bill credits, in part, the discipline and commitment running has instilled in him with assisting him in reaching the level of success that he enjoys in his career. Bill is a graduate of Fanshawe College and had earned both his Securities and Mutual Funds licenses as well as successfully completed the Elderly Planning Course (EPE). He is very active in his community and involves himself with the Big Brother/Big Sisters Associations of Canada including the Annual Kids Fishing Derby.

Bill is passionate about coaching and assisting his clients in getting to heights they’ve only ever imagined – truly running alongside his clients while they “Stride to Success”.
