I was born on October 17, 1973. Having been born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, I got my interest in weather at an early age. Winter in New York City meant the chance of seeing some great snowstorms (and getting time off from school). Although I don’t have any memories of blizzards back in the 70's, my earliest remembrance was the February 1982 storm. That snowstorm fascinated me bringing everything to a halt. It gave the city nearly 2 feet of snow with lightning and thunder accompanying it.

My interest in weather continued to grow through college. I attended the State University of New York at Albany majoring in atmospheric science. Having worked several years outside the weather field after college, I decided to come back to it.

I began working for Metro Weather in 1999. Currently I work as an overnight meteorological technician and weekend manager. Although weather is my biggest hobby, I also enjoy cycling and traveling.
