Voices
Over the years Bill has done voices for commercials, cartoons and TV Segments. Bill enjoys doing character voices as well as professional voice over work.
Below is a voice Bill did for a character called "Franky" in a short animated clip that introduces Golden Street Animation. Bill was hired just to do the animatic but was quickly hired to do the voice of Franky.
Bill said, "It was a blast doing the voice of Franky! His voice is a very silly and overexaggerated, which is so fun to do. I still find myself in the car or in random places doing his voice because it's so funny. I was originally just hired to do the animatic but after putting my voice in as Franky, I was hired to do his voice on the spot."

Entrepreneur
Bill is an entrepreneur at heart. He first got a taste in entrepreneurship when he was a kid by collecting lost golf balls and selling them back to golfers. ($.25 a piece or five for a dollar. And the ones with pictures on them were $1.) He also sold homemade soft pretzels. He would bring samples and sales slips to his dad's work and fulfil the orders by making each pretzel by hand.
But as Bill got older, he decided to venture in larger entrepreneurial adventures. In 2007 he produced a TV show called, "The Bride Idea. Bill hosted the 2 Episodes and showcased local wedding companies. He also wrote, produced, directed, edited and aired the TV Show on the local News Station.
It wasn't until 2013 that Bill really decided to test out his skills in business creation. At the time Bill was a full time student at the Art Institute, had a full time job, was fully involved in volunteering weekly at his church and his wife had just given birth to their 3rd kid. What better time to quit your job and start a company! With a little savings in his pocket Bill founded LOTH Hoodies and Co-Founded Quick Draw Services with a former Disney animator Scott T. Petersen.
Since then Bill has also founded The Geekery View TV Show, Treasure Rock Productions and has produced many Roku channels.
Bill started The Geekery View at the beginning of 2016 with the goal to promote geeky products.
The idea for the Geekery View originated when Bill was doing a Kickstarter for his LOTH Hoodies. During the Kickstarter campaign, he hired a marketing company for $600 to promote his hoodies. $600 was a lot of money for a small business owner with a small family to feed but he decided to do it. He quickly found out that the promotion from the marketing company didn't result in any sales or increased traffic. Bill thought, "There's got to be a way for geeky companies to promote their products for a good price." The result of his pondering was The Geekery View TV Show.
Since then Bill has promoted hundreds of geeky products from around the world, interviewed companies at conventions and traveled to Comic Cons and exhibits around the country.
Since Bill is a geek at heart, he loves the work and get truly geeky about the products on the show.

Bill really enjoys seeing people get excited about his Hoodies. Bill said, "It is very fun to see people enjoying a product you made."
To give back Bill donated 5% of every sale to Humanitarian Aid. LOTH Hoodies slogan was. Stay Warm. Look Cool. Give Back
In 2020 Bill partnered up with a costume maker, so that Bill can take a back seat on LOTH Hoodies and earn royalties on each sale. Bill still thinks of the many adventures he went on with his LOTH Hoodies.
