Bill has run the Tomahawks Youth Lacrosse Club in Palo Alto as President since 2006.  Bill also founded the program at Palo Alto High School, which won the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League Title in 2010 in its first year as a school lacrosse program.   

He played lacrosse as a kid in Upstate New York outside Buffalo on the Seneca Indian Reservation, where his Dad was the 'Medicine Man' for the Native American Six Nations Box Lacrosse team for many years.  He founded his High School Lacrosse team at Sweet Home High School in Amherst, NY, and started for 4 years on attack, winning All Western New York Honors, and played a bit in college at Harvard,  and afterwards here on the West Coast.  His wife forcibly retired him from the game years ago when he came home from a box lacrosse game covered in blood. He is, however, contemplating a return from retirement, against her wishes...

He is also the Executive Director of Team NorCal, one of the leading travel teams in the Bay Area.  He is responsible for hiring coaches, program development, player selection and development, and administration.  Through Team NorCal, he has coached more U13, U15, U17 and U19 travel teams than anyone in the Bay Area over the last 4 years.

He lives in Palo Alto, with his wife Katherine, a lacrosse playing younger son Jonathan, and a baseball-addicted and football playing older son William.  He spends his days in the investment business for Redwood Ventures.
