Bill was born March 29,1936, in Colbert Oklahoma. He was raised on a farm in Colbert, OK and graduated from Colbert High School, where he had a calling from God his senior year. God spoke to Bill saying he wasn't needed in the Ministry at this time so Bill could focus on family, but to pay attention and later he would be called on when God needed him.

Bill joined the army in November 1958 and served until 1960. He began working at Pillsbury in 1956, where he retired 40 years later. It was in this time, 1978, Bill received the second calling he was told of before. God told Bill "I need your help now; can you help me?"
