Though born in neighboring Maryland, it was my formative years growing up in the Texas panhandle, the piedmont of north Georgia, and the rolling hills of western Pennsylvania that helped create an easy itch for travel. After a two-year tour with the Peace Corps in West Africa, Bill enrolled in Tulane University in New Orleans where he earned an MBA. New Orleans is where he met Dumisile, his wife of 26 years, and where his son Bryan was born. Now aged 23, Bryan is a recent graduate of The College of William & Mary.

For over 20 years, Bill lived and worked in fascinating venues in Asia and in all corners of Africa, serving in the U.S. Foreign Service. Though a wonderfully rewarding career, it was the 1991 purchase of a lovely parcel of rural land in Virginia's Piedmont that eventually beckoned the family home. They recruited a custom home builder and built a "country classic," pointed directly toward the same scenic hills that many of America's Founding Fathers called home. They are proud to make the Charlottesville area their permanent home now.

Bill revels in helping others discover the beauty, year-round recreational activities, and high quality of life in these lovely hills and valleys. He brings sharp business, marketing, organizational, interpersonal, and diplomatic skills to Charlottesville Country Properties. His objective is to help clients find their perfect spot - whether a second home, a farm, a retirement spot, or the raw rural acreage on which to build their own country classic. He also specializes in helping clients find a reputable builder of high quality custom homes who builds precisely what they want.

Whatever your needs, Bill looks forward to ensuring that his clients have very effective and efficient real estate transactions and -- fun along the way!
