Billy combined his passion for sports and youth development in coming up with the idea for this program.  He has both played and coached sports competitively at the collegiate level and believes that sports are an ideal conduit to teach youth the work ethic, team concept, and competitive spirit that will allow them to succeed off the field as well as on.

Billy began his coaching career at the High School level.  He coached two years as an assistant varsity coach for Redwood High School (Larkspur, CA) his high school alma mater, and three years as the head varsity coach at Tamalpais High School (Mill Valley, CA). 

Billy moved to the Pac-10 for the 2004 and 2005 seasons, coaching for the University of Oregon Men’s Basketball team.  He held the Graduate Manager position (formerly known as the Graduate Assistant position) while earning his MBA.  The knowledge he gained at Oregon of the day to day activities of college athletes and NCAA rules and regulations has allowed him to develop this program in a way in which college athletes can participate.

Billy has significant experience in the business world, working for Accenture (3.5 years) as a technology and software consultant in Silicon Valley and then for CascadeWorks (1.5 years) managing software customization and implementation projects for customers such as Charles Schwab in downtown San Francisco.

Billy received his undergraduate degree in Bio-Chemistry from UC San Diego in 1997 and most recently attained his Masters of Business Administration in Sports Business from the University of Oregon Warsaw Sports Marketing Center in June of 2005.
