How Bill is building a better working world

"I’m always thinking about how to bring in people with a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences because that’s what makes our practice stronger. When I retire, what's going to define whether I had a successful career is if I helped mentor and train the next generation of people who are even better than I am."
