In business, Bill has always been a big risk taker.

Bill took career risks and never thought twice about switching business interests within Zale Corporation for the opportunity at professional advancement and to learn every aspect of the retail business.

Bill Managed jewelry stores, worked in Human Resources Training and Development, Supervised Zale’s Sales & Management Training Program, worked in Marketing/Advertising and eventually was promoted to the Manager of Quality Assurance developing and overseeing all of the Zale Corporation’s product quality.

Bill was then promoted to Director of the Insurance Replacement Division before leaving Zale’s.
