What People Say About Me (from LinkedIn)
So many things stand out about Bill that it is hard to know where to start.
He is brilliant, dedicated, and one of the few true visionaries out there. He is amazing to
work with and I learn something every time I am in the room with him. Bill solves difficult
problems with ease, and is able to identify and communicate the essence of any problem or plan.
He is truly transcendent.
--Russell Shiffer
One of the smartest guys I've ever met. Bill is the type of executive that will get into the details
and do a wonderful job of articulating both the root cause and solution. He knows the right questions
to ask, even when not presented with accurate symptoms. He did a great job of putting his team
together, they did great supporting us, but Bill was always willing to roll up his sleeves when needed.
You can't ask for more from an Executive Service Provider. Looking forward to working with him again.

Me in Action (On an SVForum Panel)
Currently
I'm an EIR at Rustic Canyon. I'm also on the advisory boards of a few startups here in the Valley, a mentor at Yetizen, and a soon-to-be mentor at Outside Counsel.
Previously, I was the SVP of Product and CTO at Live Gamer where, broadly speaking, I owned the Elements microtransaction platform. Live Gamer was my third PaaS company and, in addition to learning even more of the ins-and-outs of delivering software from the cloud, I now have a deep grounding in gaming and payments (as well as more knowledge about microtransactions and virtual economies than I ever thought possible).
Consulting
I enjoy consulting. Time is rather limited these days, but if you've got a hard problem (either with your organization or with your product) and think my expertise in gaming, payments, SaaS platforms, analytics, or in leading engineering and product organizations would help, feel free to drop me a line.
