Bill was born in Bristol, CT and has been fascinated
by weather that most people consider "bad" since he was 5 years
old. He was pleased and surprised to find lots of other "weather
weenies" when he came to Penn State in 1980. He received a B.S. and
M.S. in Meteorology and was then hired by Penn State as a research assistant,
again in meteorology. In 1995 he began his tenure as the manager of Penn
State's University Park weather observatory. He teaches several meteorology
courses and enjoys contact with his students and all others with an interest
in the weather. He is married and has two teenagers, with only his son
showing the slightest interest in the weather! He's been a forecaster
on Weather World since 2001.
