While based in Orlando, Bill was invited by the Collier Building Industry Association (CBIA) to be a judge in Naples for both the Parade of Homes, and the Sand Dollar Awards for three years.

Craftsmanship is second nature to Bill.  He grew up in Southeastern Pennsylvania where he was surrounded by and learned from amazing Amish craftsmen.  Bill is passionate about partnering with his clients to deliver superior quality workmanship and maximum customer satisfaction.
