At that time it was the
ONLY officially recognized Thai Boxing school in lower Michigan.
In 1993 Bill had his first sanctioned Thai fight at the
Ishpiming Armory in Michigan's upper peninsula. After a
few years of training and fighting Bill was promoted to Kru
Muay, and in January of 2006 was promoted to Master and head
coach of the Black Feather fight team.
Bill is the only one
to hold this title in the Black Feather camp. Bill has had the
pleasure to train and spar with a lot of great fighters in the
Detroit area. "Cowboy" is the nickname given to Bill by the
Black feather mob because of his 3 year professional bull riding
career with the IPRA. Bill is also certified as a judge and
referee by the United States Kick boxing Association. Bill is
currently the Head Instructor for the Muay Thai Kickboxing
program at the Ohana Karate Dojo (Premier Martial Arts) in
Fowlerville, Michigan.
