Bill has been a member of the award-winning Fox 8 I-Team since 2001. Bill also anchors the weekend 6pm and 10pm newscasts.
Bill is proud to have been a recipient of the duPont-Columbia Silver Baton -- broadcast journalism's equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize. He has won four first-place National Headliner Awards and has been a finalist for a national Emmy and an Investigative Reporters and Editors Award. He has also been honored with numerous regional Emmys, as well as a regional Edward R. Murrow Award.
Bill's work has been consistently recognized because of the quality of his journalism and the difficulty of the subject matter that he chooses. His nationally honored stories have included the following: a half-hour primetime report on preventing the deaths of children placed under county care in the Cleveland area; a four-year investigation on the priest sex-abuse scandal in northeast Ohio; and an expose which revealed that the cleric who established the first American outpost for what became al-Qaida had quietly relocated to Cleveland.
Bill attended the University of Tulsa, where he received a bachelor's degree in telecommunications. He is also a graduate of the University of Tulsa College of Law, and has been a member of the Oklahoma Bar Association.
His television career started in Tulsa, where he spent five years at KJRH-TV as a reporter and anchor. He moved to Cleveland in 1989 to work at WEWS-TV, where he anchored weekend newscasts and launched an award-winning investigative unit. He joined Fox 8 in December of 1999.
Bill has served on the board of directors for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cleveland, and was once honored as Regional Big Brother of the Year by the charitable group's national office.
