"Michelle's Place is very important to me as it is how I can give back to our community and keep Michelle's spirit alive." - Bill Watson

Bill and his wife, Marilyn, founded Michelle's Place in memory of their youngest daughter, Michelle.  Founding Michelle's Place was the realization of his daughter's wish for others to have support during their journey and Bill continues to honor his daughter by staying closely involved with Michelle's Place operations and events, especially the Finance Committee and Human Resources Committee.

Bill currently serves on the Hospice of the Valley Board of Directors and has served as President of the Temecula Valley Wine Society as well as the Wine Competitition.

Currently a retired Mechanical Engineer, Bill worked for Metropolitan Water District for 38 years with his last project being the Diamond Valley Power Plant. Bill enjoys gardening, building, and off-roading in his Jeep.
