I was born and raised in the Twin Cities. Growing up in Minnesota gives you the opportunity to experience almost every weather condition possible. From tornadoes to blizzards.

I saw my first tornado when I was fifteen years old in Garrison, MN. From then on, I have kept an eye on the sky. I started chasing storms in 1992. I figured since I was already following the severe weather, why not help the public. I attended my first Skywarn class in 2002 and became and trained spotter for the National Weather Service. I continue to go to training classes yearly.

I currently live in Hammond, WI with my loving wife and two boys. I am glad to be part of the Severe Studios chase team and am happy to help Severestudios.com inform and show the public severe weather now and in the future.
