Bill was a geopolitical analyst and international economist experienced in development and capital markets issues, with a longstanding and deep interest in Asian economic developments. He started off in Seattle working as an engineer for Boeing and worked for NASA on the Apollo project sending the first man to the moon. He relocated to Manila in the Philippines whilst working for the Asian Development Bank. Soon after, he met Jeannette and the rest as they say is history… Bill and Jeannette are 'Opposite Ends of the Spectrum', totally different from each other in opinions, styles, preferences. He took pride in being politically incorrect, Jeannette is the practical, sensible one. They have laughed at each other since the day they met in the mid 80s. Travelling became one of their obsessions; from the mountains of Nepal, Jeannette explored Mt Everest by flying the deathifying Russian aeroplanes. Food is love, they both enjoy eating exotic foods which means she cooks amazing East meets West gorgeous dishes: Thai, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, Chinese inspired cuisines and Bill eats them. Despite their 20 year age difference, they were happily married for thirty seven years. Laughter, exotic foods, travelling, quirky children kept them together.
