I am Channel 9’s Chief Meteorologist. Growing up in rural Oklahoma, I formed a special passion for weather and have spent my life pursuing all types of weather from tornadoes to hurricanes.
All of my training and experience were used during the devastating hurricane season of 2004. Hurricane Charley brought Central Florida its first hurricane in over 40 years and was the most intense landfalling tropical system I had ever covered. But it didn’t stop there as two more hurricanes ”Frances” and ”Jeanne” would hit Central Florida. They just wouldn’t let it upon us.
When I’m not working in Severe Weather Center 9, I enjoy spending time at home with my wife Selina and children Ryan and Kaitlyn. I also like to work on my Mustang and collect old horror movies. I graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a degree in Meteorology and I hold the “Seal of Approval” from the American Meteorological Society.
WFTV’s chief meteorologist Tom Terry and his colleagues did outstanding work. Terry crowed that WFTV had developed a new storm track — three hours ahead of the National Hurricane Center — that put Charley on the way to Orlando. Anchors Martie Salt and Bob Opsahl later saluted their meteorologists.
This back-patting is usually a turnoff, but there was no turning away from WFTV. It was more compelling than the equally dedicated competition. The screen on Central Florida News 13 was often cluttered with graphics. The weather graphics on WESH-Channel 2, WKMG-Channel 6, and WOFL-Channel 35 just didn’t have the same detail or pizazz.
