Bill McWilliams was born in Brownsville, TX, raised in small towns in Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado and received an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY, from the third congressional district of Colorado. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree, and earned a Master of Science degree in Business Administration from The George Washington University while attending the Air Command and Staff College at Maxwell Air Force Base, AL. He later attended the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle Barracks, PA, where he completed ten months of senior management training.

His Air Force service included assignments as: a flight and classroom instructor in undergraduate pilot training and fighter training; a seven month combat tour in the Republic of Vietnam where he flew 128 fighter-bomber close support and interdiction missions; and a United States Air Force Academy Air Officer Commanding and flight instructor for cadets receiving familiarization training in light aircraft.

While on active duty he served in various capacities including flight safety officer, accident investigator and board president in investigating, writing and reporting results of 14 major aircraft accidents, and literally hundreds of incidents. After leaving the Air Force he served more than eight years in systems engineering and management positions in the aerospace industry in the early stages of such programs as the Air Force's latest operational fighter, the F-22 Raptor; the Army's sight system for the Bradley Fighting Vehicle; the ground mapping sensors for the Navy's Tomahawk Cruise Missile; and Hughes Aircraft's satellite production programs.
