At the collegiate level, Bill was a member of the Baylor University Water Ski team and competed in both the slalom and trick events. Today, Bill still skis, wakeboards and wake surfs, but he especially loves being on the water with his wife, kids, extended family and friends.

When he’s not on the water, Bill works as an ordained minister and university professor.
