About Bill York

I was born in Marietta, Georgia,(my Dad\'s side of the family) and grew up in Addison, Illinois (West Side Suburb of Chicago(, my Mom\'s side of the Family). I spent a little time in New Jersey, Ridgewood and Hazlet, loved the Garden State, and that is where I learned a lot about Organic Farming. I was in the Navy and stationed at Naval Hospital Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station for four years of Active Duty, and Point Mugu Naval AIr Station, California for four years of Reserve Service. I ended up living in Southern California, Thousand Oaks and Newbury Park for about 25 years, with Work Offices in Beverly Hills where I worked as a Professional Fundraiser for a variety of Nonprofit Foundations. I ended up getting burned out on the California Trafic, spent more time comutting 40 miles to and from work on the California Freeways than I actually spent in my Office. I also developed a bad case of Road Rage,there is a continous Rush Hour, Morning, Noon and Evening, Seven Days a Week, also got tired of the beautifull one season weather, missing the change of Seasons, and moved back to my roots in Illinois. I also moved back to Illinois being the Primary Caregiver for my Mom who had Alzheimer\'s Disease, and wanted to get here closer to Family.\"And in the end,The love you take, Is equal to the love you make.\"Complete Resume of Career and Work History Available Upon Request

I work whether it\'s the sun, the moon or the clouds who rule the sky. My supply is infinite, I cost nothing and I can change everything. I\'m all yours. You just need to reach up and grab me.
