Bill provides support to the more than 1,500 USMS registered clubs and workout groups nationwide and helps build new programs. He also works closely with the USMS Coaches Committee to develop and administer the USMS Coach Certification program. Bill works with LMSCs and host clubs to bring the certification program to the membership at large.

A graduate of the University of North Carolina, with a bachelor of arts degree in chemistry, Bill has coached age group, collegiate, and Masters swimmers for the past 35 years. Prior to his club and coach services position, he operated a successful business and volunteered at both the local and national levels for USMS. Bill believes continuing education for coaches and recruitment of new coaches are critical to the continued success of the organization.

He and his wife of 30 years, Pam, also a UNC alum, have four grown children. They’re active at their alma mater and endow a swimming scholarship to the varsity program.
