Bill's parents always made their sons' education a priority, thus they attended private schools, even though it was a financial burden at times. Bill attended private school from kindergarten through his sophomore year, then transferred to Leavenworth High where he received his high school diploma. Throughout his school years, Bill's parents worked hard to instill a solid work ethic in their sons. Bill worked at a motorcycle shop as a mechanic's apprentice through his grade school years on into high school and eventually was promoted to Parts Manager, although this was not to be his profession of choice. His brother excelled in the field and eventually became Service Manager.

      It was during his five years with McCormick's that Bill met some of the most influential people that would inspire him and help mold him into the person he is today. Among those people were Steve Pickman, Public Relations Manager; Jim Hosier, President of McCormick's; and Bob Harness, Art Director. All of these people played a very important role in Bill's life, however, one stood out among the rest: Bob Harness. Bob took Bill under his wing and not only taught him the "ins-and-outs" of the corporate world but also helped him grow in his creativity and in applying and developing his ideas. It wouldn't take long for the two to become such good friends that others referred to them as "two peas in a pod." Bob was also a professional magician. Bill took an interest in that as well and through Bob's wisdom and knowledge, Bill would go on to place second as Kansas City's stage magician of the year (International Brotherhood of Magicians Ring 129). He would also be awarded their highest honor "The Sorcerers' Circle". Bob was also a holder of this award. As time went on, McCormick's was sold and the two friends drifted and sadly, their lives took different paths.

       In addition to his career as a disc jockey, Bill also pursued the fast-paced profession of selling real-estate. Viewing real-estate as yet another challenge in life, he quickly attained GRI status (Graduate of the Real-estate Institute), which is only awarded to the select few who pursue a higher education in specialized fields such as law, commercial sales, etc. He worked for Re/Max for several years until the deejay industry took-off.

       Bill is now the owner of Bill Wano Entertainment. Through experience, hard work, dedication, and the loving support of his wife Tabatha, Bill Wano Entertainment has grown into a successful company that boasts seven of the best rigs money can buy and the greatest family of entertainers in the business. As well as working locally, he personally travels out-of-state several times a year to entertain for corporate events. Through the support of both his personal family and his company family, Bill is continually inspired to take his company to greater levels.
