He enjoys golfing, biking, lifting weights, watching movies with Jill, date nights and game nights. He spends so much time looking after others, you’ll rarely find him alone. Brothers not only look after your own interests but the interests of others as well.’” Serving both groups, Bill uses one mindset, “There is a list of life verses I have, but the big one I’ve been focusing on the past few years is Philippians 2: 3-4, ‘Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but with humility consider others better than yourself.

Literally within minutes, I got the call from George (Jacobus) and I said, ‘You’re where? College Station?’ It was like the heavens opened up and the angels were singing. “When I got the call, I had just been turned down for another job. But a classmate worked in the College Ministry at Central and the next thing he knew, a new path emerged.

It was time for more change in Bill’s sports career track. He loved what he was doing, but not necessarily where he was doing it. Later, Bill moved into municipal Recreation for Missouri City, TX. Bill applied at a YMCA and got started in sports and recreation. So I realized that dream wasn’t going to happen,” Bill recalls.
