Bill previously served on the WCS Board of Education for 12 years. He is also an Associate Pastor at the Wilmington Church of God.

Bill believes the schools are part of the foundation of our community and should be a positive light in our community. He wants our schools to be a safe place for all students and staff to attend every day, and wants our schools to represent the values and beliefs of the Wilmington School District community.
