When time allows, Bill still volunteers with his local Habitat for Humanity material recovery crew. He also serves as an executive member of the Pigeon River Country Advisory Council. Bill is a member of Muskegon Conservation Club and Sable Point Lighthouse Keepers Association.
Bill’s love for Michigan’s environment extends into his leisure time. He enjoys kayaking, sailing, swimming, backpacking, snowshoeing, camping and cooking. He also enjoys live music, pinball and learning about Michigan’s history.
