Bill, along with his brother, Bob grew up in Columbus, Ohio. Bill and Sharon both graduated from Whitehall Yearling High School, and they were high school sweethearts. They both attended Ohio State University. Bill went on to receive a Master’s Degree at Texas A&M.
Bill worked as an aerospace engineer for over 40 years. The Brown's moved to California in the early 60's. Then they moved to Texas for about 17 years before moving back to California in the early 80's.
