About

Hey, my name is Will.

They gave me the name for a reason. With extensive journalistic experience, my career has been built around telling stories on YouTube, over national broadcasts, and in papers of record. I’ve led productions from pre to post, and developed shows and strategies for the web.

Reporting on topics from the environment to business to AI, my success is driven by my ability to partner with producers, editors, crew, and on-air talent to deliver compelling storytelling that resonates with audiences.

Recently, my work covering the environment for Business Insider garnered me a New York Emmy nomination, a NABJ award, and a NJSPJ 1st place prize for Best In-Depth Reporting.
