Chopper Bill, as he's known around the newsroom, started with WLKY in February 1997.

When he's not flying, Bill is involved in the CABO WABO program — which he co-founded — that benefits the area's needy families. He also is an avid follower of U of L football and basketball.
Bill also likes to spend his summer free time at Seneca Park with his dog Max.
