Will Whitson - WMBFNews.com, Myrtle Beach/Florence SC, Weather

Will Whitson was bitten by the journalism bug when he was in college. He was taking a broadcasting class just for fun, and found he couldn't get enough of it! He knew then and there he wanted a career in news.

Will interned with the Fox News Network in New York City the following summer, which further solidified his decision to become a journalist. He graduated from Furman University in 2010 in Greenville, South Carolina (Go Paladins!), and joined the WMBF News team that July.

Will was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee and is an avid music lover from country, to classic rock, jazz, and even the Carolina shag!

When he's not chasing down a lead or working on late-breaking stories in the newsroom, you can find Will racing his bicycle down Ocean Boulevard or at the bookstore with a cup of coffee, a copy of the Wall Street Journal, and a book.
