"Bill was an excellent professor, mentor, officer, manager, and friend during my time as a cadet in Wheaton College's ROTC program. He brought a unique passion for officership that touched on multiple facets of character, from financial stewardship to managerial decision making. He made himself available to his subordinates at every opportunity, and was a source of truly valuable advice and general mentorship. His commitment to his family, students, country, and profession is unquestionable, and he is a truly stellar example of an among-the-best, above-center mass officer."

“LTC Bill Holstine is a paramount of character and positivity. While supporting a time-sensitive planning mission in Korea, he demonstrated a willingness and ability to anticipate changes and readily adapt as needed. Given one day's notice, Bill was directed to fly around the world and assume command and control of a group of engineer teams. Upon arrival at his contingency work site, he quickly took the helm to receive and integrate several technical engineering teams, and coordinated the execution of multiple complex, remote missions. Only because Bill was at the right place and time were we able to succeed! Bill is an assset to any organization.”

“I had the opportunity to have Mr. Holstine as a professor at Aurora University during Fall of 2009 for Personal Financial Management. Mr. Holstine provides the rare ability in the academic world to bring real life experiences and applications to the classroom. His ability to relate to students is another one of his strongest traits. Mr. Holstine went above and beyond my expectations on not only what we learned, but what we took away through life lessons, as well as the classroom skills. His background allowed for class discussions to be opened up, and ideas to be discussed much further than simply teaching out of a book would allow. He is a professor that I truly enjoyed and I hope our path's meet again down the road.”

“Bill is a man that can be trusted, based upon his commitment to Christ, his work ethic and his dedication to doing the right/best thing.

“I have known Bill since our days in high school. Bill has been a good life long friend that has always been driven and focused to the task at hand. Bill has developed into an excellant financial analyst that has everyones best interest at the forefront. A few years ago, Bill started a long term financial investment group named "Monoploy I, LLC". This investment group had a goal of obtaining 100 investors who would contribute a minimum of $200.00 monthly. The money was invested in purchasing and renting real estate properties. Under Bill's leadership and direction, this LLC is well on its way in meeting its membership goals and financial projections. There are few people in this world that I would trust with our money, Bill is one of them.”

“I have had the privilege of knowing Bill since I was in ROTC where he served as both an instructor and mentor. Since that time I have come to benefit from his instruction as both a leader and a professional soldier. More importantly though, Bill has taken the time to share with my family and I his expansive knowledge of financial planning, providing us with a peace of mind for our future. His practice of servant leadership has enabled him to build a family centered, multimillion dollar real estate investment which I am honored to be a member of.”

“Bill is a excellent organizer and self starter who has a vast knowledge of the business and financial worlds. He thinks outside the box to solve problems while also researching all aspects of whatever endeavor he undertakes. Bill is very competitive and has a real drive to succeed. He is an individual who while being a good strong business man can also be a very compassionate and caring individual. He cares about and strives to help others with his knowledge and skills whenever he can. I am also impressed by Bill's ethics and integrity. Being a Christian man, Bill always strives to do what is "right" not necessarily just what ever it takes to just be successful. He truly let's his Christian morals guide him through the business world. Bill is a great guy and someone I would work with or partner with any time. Bill's leadership is apparent in everything he does.”
