Growing up, Bill was interested in photography and filming, but never considered it as a career possibility. After graduating from Cal Poly with a Speech Communications degree, he was unsure of what to do for a career. On a whim he applied for an entry-level position at KTVL, the CBS affiliate in Southern Oregon. He was selected only after the two more qualified candidates turned down the minimum wage job. After working a year at the station, he discovered his passion for documentary filmmaking when he decided to go to graduate school in the Edward R. Murrow program at Washington State University.
Palomar College Television, also known as Palomar Films, is regarded as one of the best educational television studios of its kind in the country. Bill is the director and producer who leads his team in the creation of instructional videos, promotional content, and social and environmental documentaries.
