Billy is a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, Substance Abuse Professional and Board-Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor on a state, national and international level. Billy is married to his high school sweetheart of 35 yrs. They share two daughters and two grandkids. When there is ever a chance Billy is not working, he loves to spend time with his wife or on his back yard pier, fishing in Galveston Bay.
