From pickup basketball in Richmond Hill to boardrooms in Manila, Jakarta, London, and San Antonio, Bill Brown's life has been defined by a willingness to act when others hesitated. Starting out at Arthur Andersen — and quitting on the spot when he spotted an error no one else would acknowledge — he spent decades climbing the corporate ladder at ITT, serving as CFO of O.M. Scott in small-town Ohio, overseeing telecommunications companies across three continents, and eventually building a new life in Texas after raising six children and 38 years of marriage.Alongside the career milestones are the quieter stories: six athletic kids, Little League championships, a son's battle with schizophrenia, a second marriage, serious health battles, and thirteen grandchildren. Take a Chance is the story of a man who never waited to be called off the bench — in business or in life.
