Please consider making a pledge/contribution to programs which you feel support my mission. There are many organizations that support Veterans. The Veteran organizations links below will take you to those sites to donate. Other organizations I am familiar with which I know support my mission are Rotary Clubs, Optimist Clubs, Meals on Wheels, and The McKee Foundation. You can find the links to donate below. If there is an organization that you feel supports the mission of my ride, please consider a pledge or contribution to that organization.

Bill was born in California, went to junior high and high school in New Jersey and came to Boulder to attend the University of Colorado-Boulder. He found his home in Colorado. He entered the U.S. Army in 1968 where he was a sergeant with the paratroopers. After his honorable discharge in 1971, he went on to complete his college degree from the University of Denver with a major in math and a minor in education. He moved to Summit County in 1974 to become a math teacher at Summit High School. In 1996, Bill was elected to serve as county commissioner and held that office until 2007, when he assumed his duties as county treasurer and public trustee.
