Bill started his 31 year career in the energy industry with Shell’s upstream exploration and production organization and for the next 14 years held positions of increasing levels of responsibility in engineering, operations and management related to offshore and gulf coast production operations.  He made the transition into midstream operations in 1995 and for the next four years worked on developing plans and new infrastructure to handle increasing “rich” gas production from the deep water Gulf of Mexico.  Bill joined Enterprise as Vice President of its general partner in connection with its purchase of certain midstream energy assets from Shell in 1999.  He was elected Sr. Vice President in 2001 and continued developing midstream infrastructure, particularly in the Rocky Mountain region, until being elected as Executive Vice President and COO in 2007 with responsibilities for Enterprise’s Operations, Engineering and EHS&T functions.  He returned to the commercial side of the business and assumed his current role in 2012.  Bill holds a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Virginia Tech.
