Bill received his BSEE from Penn State, where he was also actively - and perhaps more so – involved in student government and on–campus concert events. After graduating he did avionics, flight control and software engineering at General Dynamics in TX and Honeywell in AZ and then got into systems administration at Honeywell and AG Communication Systems. Ultimately moving to Cary, NC, he has worked in sales and marketing roles at Auspex, DataDomain, EMC, NetApp, Riverbed, VERITAS and VMware during his 19 (and counting) years there. He currently works for Progress doing product marketing for the Data Connectivity and Integration line of business, connecting Any Data to Any App in Real-Time.
