While serving as the Executive Director of the Industrial Technology and Energy Management division of the University City Science Center in Philadelphia, Bill was the western region field manager of the U.S. Department of Energy-sponsored Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) program. The IAC program utilizes a network of engineering colleges to provide industrial assessments for small and medium-size manufacturers to identify methods of reducing costs related to energy, waste, and productivity. Bill was responsible for the overall quality of the assessment reports recommending cost-saving opportunities for small and medium-size manufacturers. Bill also managed the solicitation and selection of new IACs and provided training to their personnel.

Bill has designed and directed training in manufacturing improvements for various energy management professionals. He has trained groups of engineers from universities in Poland, Egypt, Ukraine, South Africa, Mexico and Ghana on how to establish Industrial Assessment Centers in their countries. These training sessions focused on the design and management of an industrial efficiency program, performance of industrial energy assessments, and techniques for writing professional reports. He has also provided energy efficiency training to US EPA Region III personnel, the Pennsylvania Pollution Prevention Roundtable, and the University of Massachusetts at Lowell’s Toxics Use Reduction Institute. In addition, Bill has provided the energy efficiency training for the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection's P2/E2 Site Assessment Grant Program.

Bill has performed numerous assessments of industrial and commercial facilities, including manufacturing plants, hospitals, schools, wastewater treatment facilities, and municipal buildings, utilizing a variety of auditing equipment such as combustion analyzers, power meters, stroboscopes, light meters, velometers, and various temperature sensing devices.

Bill has also served as an Engineering Intern for a Colorado utility and as a naval nuclear power plant mechanical operator. Bill received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Colorado State University and has taken additional courses in education and management. Bill is a Certified Energy Manager.

Bill was recently recognized by the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE) Delaware Valley Chapter for his efforts in developing the energy efficiency curriculum at NCC by awarding him the Regional Delaware Valley AEE Energy Professional Development Award.
