Bill was born in a unique location, in the back seat of a car on the Sacramento-San Joaquin county line on Highway 99. He grew up spending a lot of his time with his family, camping and fishing in the High Sierras. The outdoors became a passion for him and in his adult years was an avid backpacker. He earned the nickname “Iron Legs” from his friends for the long distance, cross country backpacking he did. He also carried on the outdoor tradition with his wife and children, spending every summer vacation camping and fishing in the High Sierras in the same place his parents did. There are now 5 generations of Gritzes that have camped in the High Sierras in the same place the first generation started even to this day.

Bill went to college at the University of the Pacific and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and Biology. In 1966 he joined the Army and worked as a chemist testing chemical agents in different climates throughout North America that were used during the Vietnam War. While he was in the Army, he joined the tennis team where he developed his passion for tennis. When he wasn’t playing tennis and testing chemicals, he developed his other great passion – playing guitar. He learned to play guitar without reading music and became a very talented guitar player throughout his life. He was honorably discharged from the Army in 1968 and returned to Stockton to work as a scientific aide for the Department of Fish and Game on the Striped bass project in the San Joaquin Delta. In 1971 he met the love of his life, Debbie, who happened to live in the same apartment building as him. were married on 26, 1972, and shortly after began his career with San Joaquin as a deputy Agriculture Commissioner where he worked for 24 years.
