Chief Signals & Train Control Engineering Specialist
“We’re in it together” is the way that Bill describes his relationship with his clients, and also the way he describes why he loves his job. Bill thrives on problem solving, which is exactly why we like him so much and value him as a team member. A railroad signals expert, Bill has over 45 years of experience in the transportation industry, holding positions with Amtrak, SEPTA and a major signal manufacturer.
