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.
