From 1978 to 1998, Bill ran a successful private practice in civil litigation in Colorado Springs.

He retired from that organization in 2015. Bill served on the boards of the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association, the Clean Air Campaign, the Colorado Mountain Club, and Adopt-a-Village International.
In 1993, at age 50, Bill married Cynthia Jones Quicksall, widow of fellow attorney and friend David Quicksall. Bill adopted their two young daughters, Sarah and Rachel. In 1995, Bill and Cindy welcomed the birth of their son, Samuel.
Bill biked in China, trekked in Nepal, and sought lost ruins in Peru. He summited all of Colorado's 14ers and Centennials, climbed Mt. Rainer, Mt. Kenya, and higher peaks in Bolivia and Uzbekistan. Bill ran the New York City Marathon, biked across Iowa, rafted the Zambezi River and was a Master Scuba Diver. Bill earned his private pilot's license logging over 1,400 hours in his Cessna 182. In the last year of his life, he wrote a novel titled Two Riders in the Pale Grey.
