Core was one of the fastest growing roofing companies in the history of Georgia. This company maintained a stellar reputation for outstanding, quality, service and customer care.

But the world is always changing, whether its evolution or revolution, there is always a better way. Bill visualized “a better way.” Taking his ideas to the most talented people he knew, this group gave birth to Commercial Roof Systems.

He founded a private consulting and export business group, (CORE International) to capitalize upon sales and marketing opportunities in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, with offices in Prague, Bratislava and Moscow.

Ray Anderson, founder of Interface, businessman of the year in Georgia and legendary leader and advocate of GREEN technology believed in this idea. Working together, they created and brought to market a product that every major hospital system in the US continues to utilize today.
