After graduation he headed East to New Jersey where he continued his collegiate studies and earned an MFA from Rutgers University’s prestigious Mason Gross School of the Arts.

As a student of life, Bill continues to develop and hone his craft. He is a perpetual “whirling dervish” who keeps busy combining critically acclaimed stage performances in plays and musicals with tours of his original mime shows and educational workshops and residencies.
