Though Bill did not have much formal training, he had a keen eye and a great since of style and form that would eventually make him one of the top pinup model artist of his generation.

At the age of 20 he was able to land a job with the United States Treasury Bureau of Engraving, where he remained until 1942, when he decided to enter the U.S. Navy; becoming a gunners mate.
After his military service Bill joined the staff of Brown & Bigelow in 1946 and in 1947 produced an elegant illustration of a beautiful young lady walking her dog on an estate for Kelly-Springfield Celebrity Tires.
He would also create similar advertising illustrations for other clients that also proved to be a successful hit with the public.
In 1949 Bill created his first Pin up for Brown & Bigelow and in 1951 was named as one of the top five pin-up artist at the firm.
