Bill was born in Louisville, Kentucky in April, 1961. He grew up on the family farm in Bullitt County, Kentucky and started fishing at an early age. He married his wife Lisa in 1997 and they moved to Kentucky Lake and bought a resort, Gingerwood Lodges, in 2001. They have five children, Rachel, Joy, Benjamin, Amanda and Caitlin, all of them grown-up and on their own now. They have three grandsons, Robbie who was born in 2005, Joel who we lost in 2006 and the newest edition, James who was born January 9, 2010.
After talking with all of the professional bass fishermen that have stayed with them at Gingerwood Lodges over the years and all of their encouragement, in 2008, Bill decided to follow his life-long dream of professional bass fishing and signed up for the FLW, Bass Fishing League, LBL Division on Kentucky Lake. He fished in the BFL in 2008 and in 2009 fished in the FLW Stren Series & BFL, LBL Division. In 2010, he fished the 2010 FLW American Fishing Series (formerly Stren) and the BFL, LBL Division.
Besides fishing himself, Bill & Lisa, through Gingerwood Lodges, are able to sponsor some upcoming professional fishermen themselves. They include: Dave Fritts of Illinios; Shane Melton of Indiana; Mark Frickman of Michigan and Tim Rasberry of Arkansas. Bill & Lisa feel blessed to be able to live at beautiful Kentucky Lake and meet, visit with and make friends with all of the wonderful people that stay with them at Gingerwood Lodges.
Bill pledges a portion of his winnings to cancer research and treatment.
