Bill aspires to live and follow Jesus. He loves his wife, Stacy (36+ years), their seven kids, great coffee, Apple Computers, motorcycles, chocolate, learning, volunteers, the Church, Gibson les Paul guitars, the blues, laughing at himself, the Cubs, the next generation and he’s very intrigued by the disciple-making genius of Jesus.

Bill shares that a question that keeps him up at night is this: What does first century Jesus-like disciple-making look like in a 21st century world? His lifetime goals are to chase a tornado, drive in a demolition derby, survive parenthood and ride a motorcycle with his wife from Chicago to LA on old Route 66.

Local residents may also remember Bill, who was as a teacher at Tremont High School for 7 years.
