 ===College===
-Bill's quizbowl career began with four years at Dickinson College.  Bill attended such tournaments as [[Penn Bowl]] V and VI with this team.  Dickinson never won more than a few rounds at a tournament, and the team avoided the [[ACF]] format.  Bill edited and directed two iterations of XBowl at Dickinson, a competition focusing on Generation X trash.

 After graduating, Bill spent two years as part of [[Carnegie Mellon]]'s College Bowl team.  Since much of his knowledge was duplicated by A team players, Bill spent most of his time captaining the B team (which the members jokingly referred to as the "Z" team).
-Bill finished a second master's degree at the University of Delaware, and has appeared at various tournaments with that team since 2000.

-After getting a master's, Bill took a job teaching at the Sanford School in Hockessin, Delaware.  Sanford's quiz coach gave the job to Bill in Fall 2000.  This team did eventually qualify to a few playoff spots at various tournaments, but the team never practiced as students had mandatory sports practices after school.
+After Carnegie Mellon, Bill took a job at the Sanford School in Hockessin, Delaware and later became its quizbowl coach.  This team did eventually qualify to a few playoff spots at various tournaments, but the team never practiced due to afterschool sports.
 In Fall 2002, Bill left Sanford and joined [[Wilmington Charter]].  Bill presided over the team's growth to over thirty active players, and the winning of 2009 [[HSNCT]] and [[NSC]] titles. He left Charter in 2010.

 Bill is very good at holding back until he is almost sure of the answer.  He regularly posts tossup to neg ratios well above 5 (at Maryland TTGT11 it was 34).  He has never been a power player, but has gone 25-40 PPG at a few tournaments.
-Bill was among the few coaches who played tournaments.  Playing with Charter students, Bill's team finished second at the Maryland site of the 2006 [[Early Fall Tournament]].  Bill was also among the players that won Maryland [[This Tournament Goes To 11|TTGT11]] in December 2007.  Bill is also seen time to time with University of Delaware teams, many of which include Charter alumni.
