Bill carries himself with a credible, calm, and confident demeanor that resonates with volunteers, community leaders, and staff alike. His ability to inspire others and communicate a clear vision for Scouting’s future is one of the many reasons I believe he is the right fit for Gateway Area Council.

Over the last few years, I have worked directly with Bill on camp operations and finances. He has learned a lot about the proper standards, processes, and programs to make summer and weekend camps meaningful and financially sustainable. In addition, Bill steps forward when needed. He volunteered to go to National Camp School to add to his credentials and provide valuable back-up support for camp operations.
