A member of WABC-TV since December 13th of 1989, Bill is the Senior Meteorologist for Eyewitness News.

He began his broadcasting career at the age of 13 in his hometown of Meridian, Mississippi as a DJ on WDAL Radio and WTOK-TV where he preformed his first weather cast.

You can find Bill on TV as he appears on "Eyewitness News This Morning" and 'Eyewitness News at Noon."  Bill has been doing the weather on those broadcasts since their inception.

He has done the weather while playing tennis with the William's Sisters Venus and Serena, basketball with Patrick Ewing of the NY Knicks, skating with Olympic Gold Medalist Christie Yamaguci, and playing golf with Tiger Woods.

Bill has also done the weather just hanging out live from his backyard!
