In addition to writing, Bill has spent a decade in education, on the board of a charter school, as a grant writer for a local tribe, a co-founder of a non-profit environmental initiative, and a curriculum consultant for a local college.
He helped design and co-found a cutting edge educational program, and was the operations coordinator for an AI/AN pipeline to college program.
