Hi, I’m Bill, the creator of *Embracing Your Encore Journey*, a space dedicated to retirement with purpose, passion, and new beginnings.

For nearly two decades, I worked as a Vice President in Information Services. Like many, I defined myself by my career. But deep down, I knew I wanted more than the corporate grind—I wanted a life that felt fulfilling and meaningful. That’s when I took a leap of faith, left my role, and turned a part-time coaching business into a full-time mission to help others.

In my early 60s, I found myself at another crossroads: retirement. But instead of seeing it as the end of something, I embraced it as an opportunity for growth and reinvention. Today, I focus on helping others navigate this transition—whether it’s through discovering a new purpose, starting an encore career, or simply finding joy in the freedom retirement offers.

My journey has taught me that retirement is about more than finances. It’s about nurturing your health, exploring your passions, and finding happiness in the simple moments. This website is where I share everything I’ve learned (and continue to learn) about living this stage of life to the fullest.

I’m excited to have you here and to help you create a retirement that’s not just successful, but truly meaningful.
