Bill’s journey began on a small family farm in the Ozarks, where he learned the importance of relationships, integrity, and hard work—principles that continue to guide his work today. Over the last decade, Bill has focused on the growth and operational stability of KKFI 90.1FM Kansas City Community Radio and The Beacon News. As Development Director and VP of Revenue Operations, respectively, he streamlined processes while raising millions in financial support, ensuring both organizations thrived long-term. In 2016, he earned a Fundraising Leadership Certificate from the Midwest Center for Nonprofit Leadership.
Bill also founded the Crossroads Music Fest, a fundraising event that has brought people together through music since 2005. He lives with his wife and two daughters in the Kansas City area.
Bill believes in keeping things simple: “Say what you mean and mean what you say.”
