Bill graduated from the Yale University Physician Associate Program in 1978 and moved back to his home state of Maine, settling in Dover-Foxcroft as the first practicing PA in Piscataquis County and is still practicing there. His first five years were shared between family practice and orthopedics, and the last 25 years have been spent in a busy orthopedic practice working with orthopedic surgeons. He also spends time at a local occupation health clinic and has volunteered at the local high school in the student health clinic and at athletic events. Bill has been a member of DEAPA since his return to Maine and has been a member of the Board for four terms, currently as President. He has been the recipient of the DEAPA Rural PA of the Year award twice (1995 and 2006). Bill is married to Elaine and has three grown daughters and is active on several community and church boards. In his spare time, Bill enjoys fly fishing, canoeing, hiking, golfing, cross-country skiing, and reading.
