About Me

I am fortunate to have had a diverse career working as a meteorologist in such a short number of years. The following list of career highlights should give good examples of the kinds of work a meteorologist can do. The list is by no means comprehensive. Note that PWS means "private weather service" and NWS means the "National Weather Service".

Industrial forecasting for construction and shipping (PWS)

One year of live television broadcasts in the form of brief weather updates in voice-over format (PWS)

Augmenting weather observations at airports and giving preflight weather information to pilots (NWS)

Upper air balloon (Radiosonde) releases (NWS)

Public forecasting and warnings (NWS)

Aviation forecasting (NWS)

Computer programming (NWS)

Two brief co-authored research articles evaluating techniques for forecasting snow accumulations (NWS)

Eight informal case studies of mostly winter storms created as an educational resource for other meteorologists (NWS)

Five years of storm damage documentation in Missouri and Kansas, including tornado strength classifications, archived in the "Storm Data and Unusual Weather Phenomena" publication produced by the National Centers for Environmental Information (NWS)

Of course, once a meteorologist always a meteorologist. I simply traded my professional career for an extreme hobby, such as working on this website, going on snowstorm chases, and lots more.
