He joined the US Air Force and served for three years before finishing his undergrad degree at UC Berkeley in Business, then he went on to Boalt Hall, law school in Berkeley where he received his LL.B.

Bill developed a strong interest and an instinctive aptitude in finance while working at Smith Barney.
