	  <description><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Bill has been an attorney who has lead billion dollar financial transactions, a Partner in IBM&rsquo;s Business Consulting Services Group where he was a leader of its global travel and transportation practice, a professor who taught MBA classes, and the CEO of two travel technology companies, one of which was then the world&rsquo;s third largest provider of computer reservation systems for the travel industry. In 2005, as CEO, he started up the ultra low cost Skybus Airlines. He also is the author of <em>The Samurai Leader: Winning Business Battles with the Wisdom, Honor and Courage of the Samurai Code. </em>That book is selling worldwide and has been translated into eight other languages. His goal is to become the wise old man sitting under a palm tree at a beach offering advice on the meaning of life to anyone who&rsquo;ll pay him a dollar.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">He has just published <span style="text-decoration: underline;">A Bank of Last Resort.</span>&nbsp; This novel is his first, so long as one doesn&rsquo;t count the four other manuscripts gathering dust in his closet which never made it out to the world. This novel was born in the first week of March 2009 as he watched Fox News and was appalled at the headlines chronicling the Government&rsquo;s actions in taking control over the nation&rsquo;s largest banks. Over the next few months, every day&rsquo;s news headlines wrote more of the novel &ndash; as a friend said, &ldquo;you couldn&rsquo;t make this stuff up!&rdquo;</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Follow the link on the GoAmericaProject home page for more information about the novel and how to buy it.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">He is now at work on the GoAmericaProject.org which started as an idea in his novel and has now evolved from a work of fiction to an organization in the real world engaged in helping America regain its economic vitality, develop more and better jobs, and support the Small Business community where so much of our business innovation and dynamism is found. It is based on the idea that our Founding Fathers knew what they were doing and we need to get back to their vision of America, as amended by Abraham Lincoln.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Bill lives in Columbus, Ohio, but yearns to get back to Texas.</span></span></p>

<p>Favorite quotes:</p>
<p>"Yet all experience is an arch wherethru' gleams that untravelled world which fades at its margin forever and forever as I move. How dull it is to pause, to make an end, to rust unburnished&nbsp;and not to shine in use! As though to breathe were life." Tennyson's Ulysses.</p>
<p>"To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." Ulysses again.</p>
<p>"Genius is knowing what is true in your own heart is true for all men." Emerson</p>
