    After graduation from law school in 1980, Bill joined a small law firm on the Oregon-Idaho border where his practice covered all areas typical for a small town lawyer. In 1986, he took and passed the Idaho bar examination.

    Bill joined the firm in 1999. In 2000, he became the City Attorney for the City of Meridian and held that position until 2004 when the City established an in-house legal department. In 2005, he was appointed City Attorney for the City of McCall.

    His practice emphasizes municipal law, real estate, creditor's rights, estate planning and business entity formation. He has authored articles and lectured at seminars covering collections, land use and municipal law topics in Idaho, including presentations to the Association of Idaho Cities and the Idaho Municipal Attorneys Association. He has testified before the Idaho legislature on land use and eminent domain legislation. He has also served as an adjunct professor on Human Resources and Employment Law in the Masters of Business Administration program at Northwest Nazarene University.

    Bill was born in Boise, Idaho in 1955 and has lived his entire life in the Northwest. He is married and has two daughters. When he is not attending one of his daughters' many activities, he enjoys reading, music, fishing and cooking on the grill.
