Bill Marchitelli- WSM owner

Bill has been welding for over 30 years.  Originally he got his feet wet working at the Newport News Shipyard in Virginia.  He then moved to the Outer Banks of North Carolina where he has worked in the boat industry for close to 28 years. 

His love affair with motorcycles began when he was 9 years old when he got his first bike, a Rupp Roadster and  at age 16 got a 1973 Sportster.  And through the years has owned many different  bikes.

He has a passion to create & his talents go well beyond the boatyard & metal.  His pieces range from functional to collectable.  But as the gray hairs multiply he is drawn back to his original love of...

Motorcycles & Metal

And with the love & support of his family he has set out to follow his desire to combine his love with talent to establish WSM Welding & Fabrication.

His first complete bike build is a memorial to his mother, ~ Hilda Grey Marchitelli Gourley
