Meet the Team

Bill Poole - Co-Author

Bill expresses himself creatively through prose and film. His experience as a police officer and as a father makes him interested in stories where everything is at stake and characters are challenged and pushed to profound realizations. Though subject matter may come from his past in law enforcement, government, and business, his greatest inspiration is his children.
