The weather is my hobby, ok maybe a passion. My day job is working at The Schwan Food Company in Marshall, MN as a Senior Systems Engineer in the IT Operations department. I have a B.S. degree in Computer Science from University of Montana.

I have been chasing now for about 6 years with many exciting chases. I have learned over the years that storm chasing is not all about technology but how to read storms with your skills and eyes. Knowing the storm structure and how it is developing is important along with knowing what to report to the NWS or local dispatch centers to warn the public.

I am also a licensed Amateur Radio operator (KC0YKX) and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT-B) for the Tracy Ambulance Service and Shetek 1st Responders.

I enjoy chasing storms, each one is different and new. The main reason for me chasing is to provide better information to the National Weather Service and local Emergency Managers in getting the warnings out faster to warn the public in the event of severe weather.
