Bill has experience in real estate, management consulting and international business — as well as entrepreneurial and political expertise. When living in Spain, Bill owned his own juggling ball business, which lead directly to a job at the U.S. embassy. His bachelor’s degree is from the University of Texas. Bill also holds an MBA from Columbia University. He speaks Spanish fluently and French poorly. His wife and children travel with him whenever possible.
