Bill leads project teams for MSA with a passion and energy that has helped turn satisfied clients into lifelong friends. Some of this is the result of his uncanny natural intuition. He can walk into a board room or community meeting and quickly ascertain what needs to happen to reach a happy consensus. But many of his clients come to respect and admire his genuine belief that architects should be “builders of the community.”

He is a self proclaimed “organic green thumb.” Bill blames this on the fact that he grew up living on a farm in a small town and that his current home has a 1930’s era greenhouse. It’s where he spends a good amount of his free time gardening.

Ever the lover of nature, Bill also spends a lot of time outdoors – hiking, cycling, or hanging out in the Courtyard at Arnold’s. With a mix of talents that range from drumming (formerly in a Gospel/Jazz band) to spelling (one word away from making the State Spelling Bee championship round) Bill brings a unique point of view to every project.
