Bill is Social Pet's Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer. His leadership experience began as an Eagle Scout in Lawrenceburg, TN, before attending The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina. That fall, he Enlisted in the SC Army National Guard and spent each summer at Fort Benning, GA in Basic Training and Infantry School to help pay for college. Bill spent the last summer between Junior and Senior year training at Fort Lewis, WA, right after he and Amy met. Upon graduation, he earned a Commission as an Army Officer and Branched Armor.

Amy and Bill were engaged the summer of 2006, after college, and within that same month, he was notified that he would deploy to Afghanistan with a Cavalry Unit the following winter. A one-year engagement turned into two while they spent the majority of that time apart during the deployment. Bill would return from Afghanistan in May of 2008 and begin a civilian career in Commercial Property Management with The Bissell Companies (now Northwood Properties) while continuing “part-time” with the SC National Guard. During the following few years, he would further his career as a General Manager at JLL while earn an MBA from Queens University of Charlotte where the idea for Social Pet Hotel was born. Bill currently serves on the board of the International Boarding and Pet Services Association (IBPSA) and he is a Certified Professional Animal Care Operator (CPACO) through PACCC.

Bill and Amy are two out of 3 people in the entire state of North Carolina who are board-certified to operate a pet care business. Today, they live in Fort Mill, South Carolina with their human son, 2 dogs, and some cool fish.
