Graduating high school in 1973, Bill Goss parked cars at Yankee Stadium and worked as garbage man for a spell before buying an old Volvo for 80 bucks and then driving it 2700 miles to a new job as a underground dynamiter in a Arizona copper mine.

But ever since he was nine years old, Bill always had a dream. 

A dream to travel a lot faster than the garbage truck he rode the back of each morning as it went flying around the streets of Millburn-Short Hills, New Jersey --- and a whole lot faster than the elevator that dropped him 5000' underneath the Arizona Desert. 

A dream to go a whole lot faster --- faster than even the speed of sound --- just like his hero Chuck Yeager did a few years before Bill was born.

Okay --- you might have guessed it --- 20 years later --- at the controls of a dual seat F-18 --- Bill Goss went on to fulfill that dream by blasting through the sound barrier off the coast of Florida.

And you might have even guessed he would earn enough money as a garbage man, an underground dynamiter and a Navy man to start college, continue on to an MBA and even attend the Harvard Business School Executive Education Program in Boston.

And if you guessed those two things correctly, well, then you really are a pretty good guesser...but there's more...a whole lot more....
