As chief executive officer, Bill provides the guiding vision for American Campus Communities. Known for his contagious enthusiasm and true passion for student success, he is considered one of the nation's foremost experts on student housing- having been featured in Fortune Magazine, NYSE Magazine, the Wall Street Journal and having appeared on CNBC. Beginning his career as a Resident Assistant at West Virginia University, Bill went on to co-found American Campus Communities in 1993. Today, American Campus Communities is the nation's largest developer, owner and manager of high-quality student housing with over 140,900 students calling an American Campus community home. Over his 30-year career, he has been involved in more than $16 billion of student housing transactions. As chief executive officer, Bill provides the guiding vision for the organization while providing strategic input and supporting the team in their execution of the company's business plan. Known for his contagious enthusiasm and true passion for creating environments conducive for student success, he is widely recognized as the nation's foremost expert on the student housing business. Over his 30 year career, he has been involved in the development and acquisition of more than $12 billion of student housing assets. The son and grandson of steelworkers, Bill was born and raised in the northern panhandle of West Virginia and first forged his vision of what would someday become American Campus Communities while he was still a student at WVU working as a dishwasher, grill cook, night desk attendant, and as a resident assistant at Summit Hall. He saw students and parents as under-served consumers, worthy of better products and services. He saw the need and the opportunity to provide modern, high quality, well-amenitized student communities that could foster an environment conducive to academic success. Bill spent the first six years of his career with traditional real estate companies that were intrigued by student housing as a side business. In 1993, with less than $3,000 in the bank, the 29-year-old moved his wife and two small children to Austin, Texas where he co-founded American Campus Communities with Wayne Senecal and Joseph Domberger. The fledging company, with only one third-party student housing management contract, established an ambitious mission statement: "To be the nation's premier provider of quality student housing communities and services through a unique understanding of, and an unrelenting commitment to, students, parents and educational institutions." From 1993 to 2003, Bill worked to establish the company as the nation's premier third-party developer and manager of on campus student housing, pioneering large development transactions with the SUNY System, the University of California System and the Texas A&M University System. In 1997, he secured venture capital from a fund controlled by Reckson Associates to buy out his original partners and to fund the company's expansion from a third-party service provider to an owner of student housing communities. In 2004, after building the company to more than $300 million in owned assets, Bill led the student housing industry to a new plateau when American Campus successfully consummated its IPO on the New York Stock Exchange, becoming the first publicly-traded student housing company in the nation and introducing the sector to Wall Street and institutional investors. Under his executive leadership, American Campus has been one of the top performing publicly traded real estate companies in America. In the twelve years since going public, the company has averaged a compounded annual growth rate in net operating income in excess of 26 percent. In addition, the company's same store portfolio has achieved average fall occupancy of 97.7 percent and has produced positive same store growth in rental rate, rental revenue and net operating income each and every year, even during the great recession. From the IPO to June 30, 2017, ACC stock has delivered a total shareholder return of more than 370 percent, outperforming the Morgan Stanley REIT Index, the S&P 500, the Dow Jones and the Nasdaq; with the company having grown to total enterprise value of nearly $9 billion. Beyond the company's operational success and financial performance, under Bill's purview, American Campus has been widely recognized as the sector's "Best in Class" company. In 2011, ACC achieved an investment grade rating from both Moody's and Standard and Poor's. The company received national accolades in 2013 when it was named "Development Firm of the Year" by the National Association of Home Builders and also named by Forbes as one of "America's 100 Most Trustworthy Companies." ACC has also been voted as one of the best companies to work for in its home state of Texas on three separate occasions.
