I am very happy here in Wilmington it is a great city with everything I love, lots of water, great beaches and nice, friendly people. It is my kind of town and I am right at home here
I have been a meteorologist for about 20 years and I have professional seals from the AMS and NWA. My emphasis is on severe and tropical weather systems. Hurricanes are the giants of the weather world and I am always in awe of their immense size and power.
That is why I came to the southeast coast, to continue my weather career, but then I got an opportunity I could not pass up. For about a year in 2010 I got a chance to do some news anchoring, off and on and just a little at a time but I really liked it. Something new and a chance to use some old skills while developing other areas. In 2011 with my weather contract ending I spoke to management and we worked out an agreement where I became a news anchor here. As I said something new at this point in my life has been great, and I am enjoying my new job.
Prior to TV I began my career in radio where I was a DJ, program director, play-by-play sportscaster and even a General Manager of a small station. I also worked in video production and training. I have also done hundreds of voice-overs and some on camera commercials and videos.
I am the proud father of three sons, they are grown and also interested in the sciences. I love it when they come to visit. My favorite pastime is sailing, it's a great way to relax and enjoy the wind and the water. My sail boat is here and I get out whenever possible, whether it's a short sail or on the water all day.
I have seen a lot of our area and I am always happy to get out whether to explore new places or revisit favorites.
