An author, columnist and popular speaker for two decades, Bill has built a significant following among public sector thought leaders in the U.S., Canada and overseas. Bill has advised dozens of cities, states and foreign countries and trained hundreds of public officials on government restructuring.

More than 60 percent of the recommendations in the reviews were enacted into law. Bill also served as a commissioner for the Texas Incentive and Productivity Commission and a designee on the Texas Council on Competitive Government.
"If We Can Put a Man on the Moon is the classic affirmation that good ideas are not enough.…This book offers enormous insight into answering those extraordinarily difficult 'how' questions.”

Prior to joining the Reason Foundation, Bill assisted reformers in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union with the transition to market economies. Bill graduated magna cum laude from the University of California at San Diego.
