Bill Long is a 1978 graduate of Lehigh University with a Bachelor's Degree in Business and Economics. Following graduation, Bill went on to spend his entire career in book manufacturing with The Maple Press Company. The last 30 of those years he held the position of Vice-President of Sales and Marketing. His involvement in the book industry provided the author with a clear understanding of the many challenges associated with the book publishing process.

Writing a book was an endeavor that Bill would never had pursued had his co-author not suggested the idea shortly after his retirement. While he had been noted for the quality of his writing throughout his professional career, Bill's second career as an author came naturally and has turned out to be a labor of love. His initial venture as an author has allowed him to explore his lifetime passion for sports and traditional personal and family values.

Bill resides in York, Pennsylvania with his wife Kathy. They enjoy spending as much time as possible with the families of their three children that will soon include five grandchildren. He also maintains his fitness levels with frequent visits to racquet venues and hiking in beautiful locations throughout the world.
