Bio:
Born and raised in the shadow of Boston. A true blooded New Englander; Bill attended Salem State College and attained a B/A in graphic design with minors in Advertising and Marketing. Working for nearly 12 years as an Art Director, Bill began working in comics in 1999. The transition from traditional print design to Comic Book production as natural, and lettering became second nature. Since 1999 Bill has lettered over 2000 pages, and produced nearly 100 comics in total.

Bill lives in Billerica, Massachusetts, with his wife of five years Kristen and his 18 month old daughter Abby. Kristen is also expecting TWINS, which are due in March.

Bill also likes to constantly talk about himslef in third person, a habit he picked up from Ryan Stegman... (Thanks, Ryan!)
