With over 15 years of experience, Bill’s journey from a second-generation contractor to a successful entrepreneur is nothing short of inspiring.

With his deep understanding of the home services industry, he highlights what truly sets NEXGEN apart, from their industry-leading processes to the exceptional company culture that’s garnered them recognition as a household name.
What really makes Bill's leadership stand out, however, is his passion for making a positive impact—not just in business but in the lives of his team members and the communities they serve. He introduces us to Project X, a philanthropic initiative that’s making a difference in the lives of families in need. Bill explains how giving back has become an integral part of NEXGEN’s company culture and how it strengthens their relationships with clients and employees alike.
In a heartfelt discussion, Bill shares his thoughts on what it truly means to lead a company with integrity and purpose.
