| Info | A native Floridian, Bill McCollum was born on July 12, 1944, in Brooksville, Florida. He graduated from Hernando High School and earned his bachelor's degree and law degree from the University of Florida. He was a member (and President in 1968) of Florida Blue Key, and is a member of the University of Florida Hall of Fame.
McCollum served on active duty in the U.S. Navy from 1969 to 1972. In 1992, retired from the Naval Reserve as a Commander, having served 24 years as an officer in the Judge Advocate General's (JAG) Corps. He is a member of the American Legion, the Reserve Officers Association, the Naval Reserve Association and the Military Order of the World Wars.
Bill represented the people of Central Florida in the United States Congress for 20 years, retiring from the House of Representatives in 2001.
While in Congress, Bill founded the U.S. House Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, chaired it for six years, and is recognized as an expert on terrorism.
Bill also served three terms on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, two of which he served as Chairman of its Subcommittee on Human Intelligence, Analysis and Counterintelligence. In the aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attacks, Governor Jeb Bush appointed McCollum to serve on the eleven member Florida Domestic Security Advisory Panel.
In addition, Bill was Vice Chairman of the House Banking Committee and served on the Judiciary Committee where he was Chairman of the Subcommittee on Crime, and a member on the Immigration Subcommittee.
While serving the U.S. House, McCollum was selected for a variety of leadership positions, including three terms as Vice Chairman of the House Republican Conference. Bill was one of 15 Members selected to serve on the House Committee to investigate the Iran Contra Affair, and served as one of the House Managers in the impeachment trial of President Clinton.
Today, former Congressman Bill McCollum is a partner with Baker & Hostetler LLP practicing in the federal policy area. He serves as President and Chairman of the Healthy Florida Foundation, chartered in 2002 to find consensus on long-term solutions to the nation's health care system.
