William "Cody" Bateman has worn many hats over the last 30 years - in the corporate world as a top flight trainer, manager and entrepreneur and in the private/non-profit sector as a speaker, advocate, grant writer and consultant.

As a father, Mr. Bateman has successfully raised a blended family of ten - and adopting seven other older "kids" as his own. A large number of his "kids" have gone onto the mission field as Christian Missionaries: Ireland, Uganda, Costa Rica, Montana, Youth for Christ and Fellowship of Christian Athletes. One son is a Marine veteran who served in Iraq and another son is stationed in Afghanistan as an M.P. with Army 3rd Infantry.

Happily married for many years now, William and Elaine continue contributing their time and talents in the various communities they are a part of. Former missionaries with Youth for Christ, the Bateman's have also mentored hundreds of families experiencing the ongoing ravages of separation, divorce and even remarriage.
