After training as a Navy diver, he specialized in management operations for the storage and shipment of explosive ordnance and special weapons and served as “Top Secret Control Officer” at his assigned bases.

Bill Hanson initially gained experience in the building industry by working his way through college in various phases of the construction industry until he graduated in 1968 from the University of California at Fullerton with a bachelor’s degree in chemistry. He immediately went to work for Halliburton Services and worked his way up the ranks with promotions to field engineer, district engineer, assistant district superintendent, and district superintendent in the Los Angeles area, the youngest district superintendent to ever reach that position. The scope of operations included geothermal wells which powered electrical generating turbines both in California and Mexico. Mr. Hanson was subsequently promoted in 1978 and transferred to Wyoming as District Manager where his responsibilities included oversight of new construction, service locations, profitability, sales, maintenance and safety in the servicing of oil wells, refineries and chemical plants.
In 1983, Mr. Hanson made a promotional career move to WellTech, Inc., a subsidiary of Bechtel Corporation, and relocated to Houston Texas. He was responsible for oil well servicing and drilling operations throughout East Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and North Florida with multiple division and district offices with over 1,000 employees. While in Texas and Wyoming, his passion for building resurfaced from his college days and as a result, he began designing and building custom homes as a profitable avocation. As a result, he retired from the oil industry and moved to South Florida in 1984, where he became a custom and luxury home builder. He is currently a state certified building contractor and a state certified general contractor and is owner and president of Palm Coast Builders and Construction Inc., a luxury home builder with offices in Jupiter Florida. He routinely manages over 20 projects simultaneously with annual business volume in excess of $25,000,000.
In summary, Bill Hanson has extensive experience in the development and administration of widely dispersed offices and service locations in the oil industry as well as in the construction of luxury homes in the costal areas of South Florida, potentially one of the harshest environments in which to build. Most of his homes are located in Palm Beach, Martin, and St. Lucie Counties which were ravaged by two hurricanes in 2004 and none of his homes suffered any significant hurricane damage.
