William shared, "After graduating from
Cornell, I worked with my father for 18 years.
After he passed, I sold the business and took
a position with Blount (now Oregon Tool),
an international manufacturer of saw chains. I
ended my career there in a global role; I spent
a lot of time traveling. After a short stint for
a Kansas company, I bought a small business
with a partner. I married my high school
sweetheart and have two great kids!" William
and his family reside in Kansas City, Kan.
