Bill Evans was the first news director to hire me as a full-time reporter. In that three years at WPSD-TV, Bill provided the training, feedback and a management style that helped many employees, including myself, thrive and advance in their career. I credit Bill Evans with teaching me how to write in active voice. I very much enjoyed working with Bill and everyone at WPSD.

Bill was straight forward in his expectations, making a job in news a little easier.
