Bill Swadley is a writer and financial wizard living in Los Angeles. He spends his days masquerading as a Director of Finance in the Home Entertainment division of 20th Century Fox.

Bill has spent the last 25 years working at every level in the entertainment industry from professional theater production to on-the-ground film crews when he was first starting out to his current executive position. Prior to his current position, he worked for a combined total of 10 years in corporate finance for Saban Entertainment/Fox Family Worldwide and Lions Gate Entertainment.

Bill is absolutely certain that the people in charge of the country, even those who are halfway-competent, are flying-blind and hobbled by the cynical nature of our plutocracy. He is always proud to tell you that he predicted both the Dot-com bust and the current housing train-wreck years before they each occurred.

He blames Bill Clinton's libido, Linda Trip, and Ralph Nader for giving us the first four years of G.W. Bush and John Kerry for the second four. He is overjoyed that the United States is once again on the road of righteousness and has never in his life been more proud to be an American than at this time. And to those who think the Obama Administration is faltering at the job, he points out that Bush got 8 full years to screw everything up, so it might just take a little while to clean up the mess.

Hobbies include economics and acquiring vast amounts of useless information. He is also a raconteur and serious film buff.

Bill has written a dozen screenplays and saw his first play, North Beach, produced a few years back. He wrote his Oscar acceptance speech when he was in his 20's and still plans on delivering it one day.

Bill is currently working on a novel entitled BEING and a guidebook for career success called Beyond the 8-Ball.
