Bill started his North Penn swimming career in his sophomore year in 1972-73. The Knights were in their second year of competition where he made an immediate impact, helping the team to its first 10- win season and first Bux-Mont League Championship. The North Penn team entered District One Swimming and Diving Championships with hopes of a strong showing and finished seventh. Individually, Bill placed in the top three at the Bux-Mont League Championships in two events, placed third in both the 100 Butterfly and 100 Breaststroke at the District One Championships, and, as the team's sole representative at the PIAA State Swimming & Diving Championships, finished 10th in both the 100 Butterfly and 100 Breaststroke. He earned All-State honors, was the team MVP, and earned Sophomore Athlete of the Year honors.
During the 1973-74 year, the Knights swim team laid the foundation for success by completing their first undefeated season (13-0), winning their second straight Bux-Mont League Championship, and first ever District One Team Championship. Bill was League Champion in two events, District Champion in the 100 Breaststroke and 200 Medley Relay, and finished third in the 100 Butterfly. He earned his second trip to the PIAA State Swimming Championship where he placed seventh in the 100 Breaststroke and eighth in the 100 Butterfly, and earned All-State honors in both.
In Bill's senior year, 1974-75, the team refused to rest on prior success and accomplishments, and set upon a path that would lead them into the record books. The team finished 13-0, won the league championship for the third straight year, and won the District crown for the second straight year. Bill won two individual events at the League Championships, and finished second in the 100 Breaststroke and fourth in the 200 Individual Medley (IM) at the District One Championships. His performance earned him his third trip to States, where he finished fifth in the 200 IM, seventh in the 100 Breaststroke, and first in the 400 Freestyle Relay along with Bruce Seaman, Bill Muller, and Tony Bartle, which set a new state record time of 3:14.75. The 400 Free Relay performance at the State meet earned All-America honors, the first North Penn Swimming relay team to receive this honor. Bill earned All-State honors for his performance in his two individual events. Rick Carroll coached the Knights to the 1975 PIAA State Swimming Championship Team title for the first time in the school's history and started the legacy that North Penn Swimming is today.
When Bill's high school swimming career ended, he was Bux-Mont League Champion in six events, District Champion in the 100 Breaststroke and 200 Medley Relay, and State Champion in the 400 Free Relay. His versatility allowed him to compete in multiple events, and he established five team records (3 individuals and 2 relay) during his three years at North Penn. Bill was the first three-time state championship qualifier from North Penn. Bill was also a member of the National Honor Society.
Bill was awarded a swimming scholarship to the University of Pittsburgh, where his team won four straight Big East Team Championships. He earned four varsity letters, All-Big East honors 1976 through 1978, and consistently placed in the top six in the 200 Butterfly and 200/400 IM. In 1979, Bill graduated Cum Laude with a B.S. in Health and Physical Education.
After graduating from Pitt, Bill taught in the suburban Pittsburgh area where he coached high school and club swimming. After returning to the North Penn area in 1982, Bill began coaching with the North Penn Aquatic Club, leading the Girls and Boys teams to 9 Suburban Aquatic League (SAL) Championships. During his coaching career with NPAC, five of his swimmers attained the Nation Age Group (NAG) Top 16 designation as one of the fastest 16 age group swimmers in the nation.
Bill is married to Cathy Lampitoc Moser, a standout athlete in her own right. They live in Upper Gwynedd where they raised three children, Alissa, Gavin and Andrea, each of whom graduated from North Penn High School and live in the area. Bill joins his daughter, Alissa, who received Hall of Fame honors in October 2009. Bill and Cathy are looking forward to seeing their three grandchildren, Madelyn, Isabelle, and Connor compete for North Penn. Bill is the Chief Human Resources Officer for a national company based in New Jersey.
