Bill Kirk
Bill Kirk is CEO and Founder of Weather Trends International and "the REAL Captain Kirk" USAF Gulf War Veteran. Weather Trends offers the #1 most accurate and proprietary YEAR-AHEAD weather forecasting with predictive seasonal category (10,000 categories analyzed) sales analytics for Fortune 500 companies across 11 verticals worldwide. Weather Trends uses a statistical modeling algorithm and 24 climate cycles that covers every square mile of Earth (rather than the physics-based meteorology). Weather Trends YEAR-AHEAD forecast is typically 80% to 87% accurate with less error than Google's week 2 short range forecast despite being a year-ahead. Bill has a B.S. degree in meteorology/physics from Rutgers University, held a top-secret SCI security clearance in the Air Force and received awards for his support in the Gulf War/Desert Storm. While in the USAF, Captain Kirk was Chief Forecaster for NASA’s Space Shuttle Columbia, Super Bowl XXV (Giants win!), Operation Just Cause (Panama); and the British Royal Knighting of General H. Norman Schwarzkopf...where the inspiration started for year-ahead weather forecasting. Bill has been featured on national TV networks including Fox Business, Fox Weather, CNBC and ABC 20/20. He is an inventor/co-inventor of three U.S. patents and has published research in hundreds of Wall Street equity reports. Under Bill’s leadership, Weather Trends has received 18 national and international business technology awards, including Forbes Magazine’s 5th Most Promising Company in America. Bill was ranked 17th on Owler’s CEO list of 167,000 CEOs in 2017. Weather Trends is committed to doing business with a greater purpose, "business as mission" to describe the company's commitment to partnering with community organizations. Bill understands that he and his company have been blessed and, thus, he wants Weather Trends to be a blessing to not only their immensely loyal clients but also the communities they serve.
