Because of this medical legacy, Bill entered pre-med, but soon discovered he was not a scientist. He turned his passion for healing to careers, and in 1978 founded CareerLab®, a human resources consulting firm specializing in career management, executive coaching, leadership development, and outplacement.
 

Under Bill's guidance, CareerLab® has consulted to more than 300 brand-name corporations, including American Cancer Society, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, CIBA Vision, Columbia/HCA, GAMBRO Healthcare, Kaiser Permanente, LifeCare, Medtronic HemoTec, MGMA, Penn State College of Medicine, and Sunrise Healthcare—to name a few.

In 1998 he met Dr. Lorne Weeks, and founded a subspecialty practice called The Physician Career Network,® which gained national recognition as the go-to authority for MDs wanting to acquire high-paying alternative, non-traditional, or non-clinical jobs. PCN has helped physician-clients in all practice specialties—from Anesthesiology to Urology—and in all 50 states.

A "primary care Internist for careers," Bill has been featured in "The Physician Executive," "Physician Practice Options," "Physician Financial News," and "Unique Opportunities:®The Physician's Resource." He authored three best-selling career books and has written for business publications and major market newspapers nationwide, ranging from The Wall Street Journal's "National Business Employment Weekly," and Forbes.com to The Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
