William Shoemaker III

William V. Shoemaker III (Tres) worked tirelessly with his father William Shoemaker II (Bill) to write and illustrate a book for Tres’ first child Emily. After initially writing the story, Tres contacted his father, a talented artist, and asked if he would be interested in illustrating it. After some coercion, Bill was convinced and the two began story-boarding the book. After months of meetings and determined effort on the part of the illustrator, the book was finished and printed on a limited basis and now is available through a variety of e-publishing outlets. Tres is a partner at Times Ten LLC, an organizational development consulting firm, and currently resides in Littleton, Colorado with his wife and two children. He is an avid aviation and motorcycle enthusiast. Bill Shoemaker is retired and lives in Omaha, Nebraska with his wife of over fifty years.
