William Kinley - Chair

Founder, current Chair, and board member of Riverside Arts Center, Bill Kinley is a partner with his son Tyler in Praxis Properties, a commercial property company. His former company Phoenix Contractors has been active in commercial construction for over forty years, and built or rebuilt several buildings in the Ypsi area, and continues that success.. He and his companies have received several awards and recognitions.

 

He is currently a member of The Ark Board, the Ann Arbor Downtown Review Board, and the Huron River Watershed Council, and former chair of the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation, the Washtenaw Community College Foundation, the Ypsilanti DDA, and several other local non-profit organizations. 

 

He and his wife Mary (recently deceased) are parents of a blended family of six (the Gang of Six), with six grands and one great-grand.As his leisure time has increased, he has been fly fishing far and wide, reliving his youth with sporty cars, and spending quality time with his two cats, Chachi and Bruce.

 

His focus on RAC has been on the bricks-and-mortar: the building has had a series of improvements through its 28 year history, and now is primed to take on the last frontier—the improvements to the now-vacant third floor  will offer a significant flexible, dramatic space for a variety of uses, and Bill and the RAC property team are ready to take on the challenge of reconstructing the space to its full potential.
