After studying at Duke University and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Bill was involved for 8 years in pastoral ministry as a youth minister and church planter. That period brought much difficulty and darkness ending in a failed church plant. Next, despite initial objections, he took a job in 1992 teaching Bible at Christ Presbyterian Academy in Nashville, TN and eventually became the Bible Department Chairman. During that time, he also began coaching track and cross country as the Varsity Head Coach. Here he found his quest for the next 20 years: connecting the truths of the Bible into the hearts of high school students. But as he took the quest, he found those same truths connecting to his heart in surprising ways.

Along with teaching and coaching, he began working with many fatherless young men, mentoring them in structured and informal ways. That eventually led into working with fathers and sons and finally into working with men of all ages. He then found himself teaching and coaching men in both small and large group settings, using his experiences to help them in their journey to become real men, men who know God intimately. And now he began to feel God’s quiet urgings to pursue this new quest. Despite his fear and initial objections again, his community of men encouraged him “to jump off the cliff” and begin something new. So in 2012, he left full-time teaching to begin Landmark Journey Ministries.

Bill’s passion is to communicate what God has been teaching him through speaking and writing. In addition, he loves to come alongside and coach others forward in their own journeys toward God. For the last two years, he and the Landmark Journey Ministries board have seeking God on how to forward the vision. This too has become another journey of overcoming fear and taking risks. Each step has been one of following Jesus into the unknown and then meeting him there. The board believes that this third year will see many open doors into the hearts of others through weekend experiences and new publications. Bill puts it this way: “I want to be a part of a revolution among men so that they can feel the wonder of being sons of the living Father through Christ. So much hangs on this. So much dies when this is lost.”

His greatest claim to fame is being married to a very special woman for 26 years, Heidi. His other claim is having two amazing grown daughters, Abigail and Rachel.
