Why I Built This Page
Bill is my cousin. We grew up together in Indiana. I went to Purdue and into finance and tech. Bill went to Ball State and into education. Different paths, same work ethic.
What makes Bill special in education sales is that he's actually done the job. He taught Language Arts for four years. He was an Assistant Principal. He worked at the Indiana Department of Education reviewing federal grants. He spent nearly six years at Edmentum in EdTech, winning President's Club his first year. Now he's at Teacher Created Materials.
Most sales reps in education have never been in a classroom. Bill has been in the classroom, the front office, the state capitol, the EdTech boardroom, and now the publisher's office. When he sits across from a curriculum director, he's not reading from a script — he's speaking from experience.
He's also gotten into fitness recently and has been featured on podcasts. The same intensity he brings to his career, he's now applying to his health. I built this page because Bill deserves more visibility for everything he's built.
If you're a school or district looking for someone who actually understands what you need — not just someone who can demo a product — talk to Bill.
