I was born in Houston and raised in Arizona. I went to undergraduate school at Arizona State and law school at the University of Houston.
I then spent four years in the Marine Corps. They called me 'Captain Bill.'
My current career began as a divorce attorney. My focus was on having my clients heal their relationship, one human being to another. In the process, I learned a lot about what creates and destroys love.
15 % of my clients never divorced and the ones who did were able to part as friends.
In 1985, I closed my law practice and put all my focus on healing relationships and having life work. Since then, I have led over 2,000 workshops and have worked with thousands of people.
My first book, How To Heal A Painful Relationship, was featured on Oprah and became a national best seller. I have also written Heal The Hurt That Sabotages Your Life and Miracles Are Guaranteed.
My websites, www.masteryoflife.com and www.divorceasfriends.com receive over 20,000 visitors a month. The Divorceasfriends site was recommended by The Wall Street Journal.
