Cumming, Georgia, United States
In September of 2025 I began a new position as a Meteorologist and Solutions Operations Specialist at ICEYE. It has been a wonderful change in my career where I get to work with incredibly high tech satellites and forecast around the globe. 馃寧 Working for a European company based out of Espoo Finland 馃嚝馃嚠 has been an exciting new opportunity. Prior to ICEYE, I worked at The Weather Company for over 27 years, where I served as a Senior Meteorologist at the Weather Channel Network, WSI and The Weather Company. I specialized in collaborating with producers, designers, executive leadership, and meteorologists to create engaging and innovative weather content for national live studio programming, The Weather Channel app and weather.com. My role involved forecasting, leveraging weather models, and advanced graphics systems to communicate complex meteorological phenomena in both written and graphical formats, that resonate with diverse audiences across all platforms. As a key contributor to major weather events such as Hurricane Katrina and Superstorm Sandy, I have consistently worked to deliver impactful storytelling that informs and empowers viewers. With almost three decades in meteorology, I remain committed to innovation and teamwork, combining technical expertise with a passion for weather communication to inspire trust and understanding in the ever-evolving field of meteorology. I cohost a top 10 weather podcast called the Storm Front Freaks, and we have been chasing in the Plains together for the last few years. This is something I truly love to do. My background started in aviation when I had worked for Continental Airlines before, during and after college. I began my college education as an aviation major earning my pilots license while at Ohio State. I have a strong passion for anything aviation/weather related. My objective in my career is to do things that are meaningful not only to myself, but contributes in a positive way to others and hopefully saves lives.
OVERALL RESPONSIBILITIES: As a Senior National Weather Producer, I use my extensive knowledge of meteorology, weather graphics systems, and product development to help design and execute TWC鈥檚 national live studio programming. I coordinate with Producers, OCMs (on camera meteorologists), Designers, and Multimedia Graphics Meteorologists to assess the needs of the show and create engaging weather content that can be used across all TWCC platforms. I use multiple weather systems concurrently to provide in-studio support conveying the latest weather information to the viewer. I must communicate innovative ways to convey stories effectively and with immediacy. I am a key contributor in breaking weather/news coverage through proactive communication and by highlighting significant stories. I train and mentor others on new processes and technologies that allow TWCN to remain at the forefront of weather coverage amongst the competition. I have also contributed in a guest on-camera role to provide met expertise to stories including a plane crash and storm reports. I am an expert user on WSI鈥檚 TruVu Max system, Titan Storm Tracking Radar, Weather Pro/ShowFX, Flight Fusion and Pilot Brief. I work extensively with Gibson Ridge Radar, Google Earth and am highly proficient in the use and production on other platforms such as Vizrt, Viz Weather & Viz Artist.
