Initially hired to teach illustration, Bill has become a major contributor to the core drawing program. He has taught courses that focus on honing observational skills as well as courses that concentrate on rendering conceptual ideas.

His professional commissions cover a wide range, from identity designs to permanent building installations. For twelve years he was the art director for the Ann Arbor Summer Festival, a four-week event (at that time) that presents art and entertainment at both indoor and outdoor venues in the city. He has designed all the festival’s collectible, large format posters. He has designed several mixed media wall displays for the University of Michigan Health System. The works combine typography, large-scale illustrations, and three-dimensional materials. They are on permanent display in public areas in the medical school and hospital. A large part of his work also involves portraiture. He has been commissioned to create numerous portraits in an engraved style to honor individuals for major donations and for achieving honors in their fields at the university. They can be seen in buildings across the Ann Arbor campus. Throughout his career he has illustrated for an extensive list of national clients. These include Sports Illustrated, Starbucks, Scholastic, and Sleeping Bear Press, to mention just a few. In 2010 Bill became an associate artist for the United States Mint and has created commemorative coins honoring Helen Taft and the 200th anniversary of the Star-Spangled Banner.

Bill's murals can be seen on the city water tower near Washtenaw and Manchester Road, and at Abbot and Bach Schools. He also designed the emblems that appear on the wayfinding signs throughout Ypsilanti.

"The mural on the planters amplifies the number of people that walk through the space every day. The images project the attitude and diversity of the foot traffic in a playful way that I think brings an exciting addition to this vibrant space."
