Director Biography:


Bill is the Administrator for the Idaho Division of Purchasing. Bill began work with the State of Idaho in late 2008 and his duties include managing State Purchasing, Central Postal Services, State Records Center, Copy Center and the Federal Surplus Program. Idaho’s state purchasing group is a centralized purchasing organization, which oversees the policies and procedures of all personal property acquisitions for the state executive agencies.

Bill is a former OEM and Supply Chain Manager, Hewlett-Packard Company. At HP, Bill managed planning, procurement/procurement engineering, design for manufacturability engineering, global supply chain development and several key global strategic relationships across Asia.
