In May 2005, Bill, graduated from Boston College and began working behind the scenes in the film and television industry. When Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast in September of 2005, Bill felt compelled to act. He knew if he could get there he could do something to help. What started as a two-week break from his job turned in to a two-year mission to assist underserved communities in Mississippi facing the aftermath of the worst natural disaster in U.S. history, and changed the course of his career.
Bill supports Jail Diversion Programs that address issues related to mental health, substance abuse, and mass incarceration. The primary goal for Massachusetts must be to ensure that people with mental and substance abuse disorders are effectively rehabilitated. The evidence overwhelmingly demonstrates that Jail Diversion Programs reduce the number of repeat offenders, and enhance public safely as a consequence.
