Autorenporträt
Bill was born in Spring Valley in the foothills of San Diego. The valley spring ran clear all year and flowed into the creek near his house. In the creek he caught crawdads, pollywogs, frogs, and minnows and cooled his feet in the hot summers. Bill explored county hiking trails, rabbit trails, and even very narrow little bug trails that snuck through the grass and roots of the chaparral. In the clear skies of Southern California, he came to know the motions of the stars, the Moon, and planets. He realized his ancestors saw the same sky and depended on the sky to know the months and seasons. He loved to imagine what his life might have been thousands of years ago, hunting, fighting for survival, and scrounging to live by his wits as a member of tribe like Otzi's.He went to San Diego State College, studying science and graduating with a BA in Math. He went to work at Univac and worked on the Apollo project at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston. When he returned to California, he took a MS Cybernetics degree program at San Jose State College. He worked as a systems engineer for pioneering companies in Silicon Valley, including Ampex, Daisy Systems, HP, and SAP. He also traveled to Mexico, Canada, Europe, Morocco, and India.
