Education:
Bill graduated with honours from Seneca College's Radio & TV Arts program in Toronto.
Extracurricular:
Bill enjoys reading (mostly bios and non-fiction) and trying to stay fit at the gym. But he is a typical Cancer...he loves the comfort of home and enjoys delving into his collection of CDs (numbering around 3,000).
What I Love About My Job:
"Ever since college, I knew I loved the entire process of creating television. The thrill of doing a great interview, producing and editing the piece is what keeps the job so interesting...I love both sides of the camera! Every day is different. I also love the opportunity to be out in the community, meeting viewers and providing the weather info they need is a great position. If we didn't have weather...what would we talk about in elevators?"
