Since graduating from Houghton in 1992 Bill has consistently demonstrated a commitment to serving the mental health needs of students within the education system in both K12 and collegiate settings. Bill returned to Houghton in 2015 to serve as the Director of Counseling Services and Associate Professor of Psychology. What drew him back to Houghton was the strong commitment to the integration of our Christian faith with the liberal arts and sciences. In 2023 he was asked to step into the executive leadership role within Student Life. Understanding the transformational impact that Houghton has on the lives of students Bill is committed to ensuring that all aspects of Student Life are focused on Sharpening, Supporting and Celebrating students, deeply rooted in our relationship with Jesus Christ.
