Bill's knowledge of boats and the sea began at an early age. Growing up on Long Island Sound, his boating days began before he learned to walk. By age 14 he was working as a mate for some of the best captains of the time. His fishing career ultimately led him to Central and South America, Australia, Nova Scotia and many ports in between.

In 1986 the opportunity to become a partner in a Bertram Dealership in South Texas sounded too good to pass up. Today, with 20 years of experience in the boat business behind him, Bill is able to provide his clients with the product knowledge and first hand experience that have come to be his trademark.

The lack of high pressure selling and the ability to answer questions honestly and thoroughly have provided Bill's clients with a comfort level that has kept them coming back to him for many years.

Specializing in large custom sportfisherman and motoryachts, Bill is always eager to help and guide his clients toward selecting the right boat. Be it new construction or brokerage, there is no substitute for first hand knowledge and experience.

Bill's latest endeavors include working closely with Michael Rybovich to market the new generation of Rybovich boats. Bill says, "There has never been a finer boat built or a better person to work with than Michael Rybovich."

Bill is also co-chairman (with sportfishing legend Skip Smith) of the Custom Shootout Tournament. The Custom Shootout is a gathering of the finest custom sportfishermen in the world and is gaining momentum at a rapid rate.
