Bill also has been the President of the Tomahawks Youth Lacrosse Club since 2006.  His initial motivation was to build a strong feeder program for Palo Alto High School, whose teams for Boys and Girls he helped create in 2009.  Palo Alto has won 5 SCVAL Boy's HS championships in the last decade, including 4 of the last 5.  He has also Assisted numerous high schools in the South Bay launch their high school lacrosse programs.

Bill was introduced to lacrosse as a kid in Upstate New York near  Buffalo on the Cattauragus Indian Reservation, where his Dad was the 'Medicine Man' for the Native American (Seneca) Newtown Golden Eagle box team.   He founded his High School Lacrosse team at Sweet Home High School in Amherst, NY, played attack, winning All Western New York Honors, and played in college at Harvard,  and afterwards here on the West Coast where he came for graduate school at Stanford.  His wife forcibly retired him from the game many years ago when he came home from a box lacrosse game covered in blood.

He lives in Palo Alto, with his wife Katherine, a lacrosse playing younger son Jonathan who was an Academic All American at Palo Alto HS and was the Captain of the Men's Lacrosse team at Northwestern University and is now a Data Scientist, and his older son William who played baseball at Tufts and now chases bots in a cybersecurity startup in Silicon Valley.  And most recently a 4 month old black labrador retriever named Shasta. 

Bill used to spend his days in the investment business for Redwood Ventures and with several high tech companies,  but now the occasional angel investment, Board role and lacrosse takes up most of his time.   

Bill is also the Founder and Executive Director of Team NorCal Lacrosse.  His vision in 2008 to provide more opportunities for players in Northern California to play at a much higher level and compete with lacrosse programs all around the country resulted in the creation and growth of the first, and now largest and oldest travel team in Northern California.   Through Team NorCal, he has enabled more players to participate in travel and elite lacrosse programs than anyone in the Bay Area.
