What I'm looking for
As a dedicated Chief Meteorologist with over 15 years of experience in broadcasting, I have honed my skills in weather forecasting, team leadership, and live reporting. My journey began at Vincennes University, where I earned my Associate's Degree in Broadcasting, followed by a Bachelor's in Broadcasting and Meteorology from Ball State University. I have a passion for delivering accurate weather information and engaging with the community.
Throughout my career, I have worked with several prominent television stations, including WISH-TV, WLWT-TV, and WRTV-TV. At WISH-TV, I supervised a talented team of meteorologists, ensuring high-quality forecasts and graphics for multiple newscasts. My role involved not only forecasting but also utilizing advanced weather software to create compelling visual presentations. I take pride in my ability to communicate complex weather data in an accessible manner, making me a trusted source for viewers.
In addition to my technical skills, I have experience in producing and reporting, which has enriched my understanding of the broadcasting landscape. I am proficient in various software programs and have a strong command of both PC and Mac systems. As I look to the future, I am eager to continue my journey in meteorology, contributing my expertise to a dynamic team that values innovation and community engagement.
