About

For over 25 years, I’ve had the blessing to living my childhood dream of becoming a broadcast meteorologist.  This site is dedicated to my passion for teaching and sharing my knowledge of weather through a series of workshops and e-courses.  It is my hope you will find this site informative and beneficial as you engage in the learning of meteorology!
