William Michael Pace

Early Life

William Pace, better known as Bill, was born on February 17th, 1955. Bill was born of modest upbringings, as his mother was a nurse and his father a postmaster. Bill attended St. Jane Frances middle school in Panorama City, CA, and Notre Dame High School, Sherman Oaks. Bill was an outstanding student and baseball plater throughout his youth. Due to his success in the classroom and ball-field, Bill was awarded a scholarship to attend UCLA and play baseball for the Bruins. Bill arrived on campus in Westwood in 1973 and shortly thereafter suffered a career-ending back injury.

Education After exercising his physical ability, Bill opted to attend Loyal Law School, in Los Angeles, CA. He graded in the top 2% of his class and accepted a job offer to work for Arthur Andersen & Co.

Professional Life

Bill busted onto the scene as a promising tax adviser and consultant immediately upon graduating law school. Andersen & Co took notice and quickly promoted him up the ranks ahead of normal schedule.
