About Me

I’m a seasoned weather reporter with more than a decade of experience covering storms across the United States, Canada, and around the world. I contribute as a digital writer for The Weather Network in Canada as well as writing about U.S. weather here at DAMWeather.

I’ve regularly contributed to national publications including Forbes, The Washington Post, Mental Floss, and Popular Science. My articles have appeared in newspapers and magazines across the country.

In addition to my daily writing, I’ve published two books. The Skies Above (2022) and The Extreme Weather Survival Manual (2015) represent years of hard work and deep love and respect for our atmosphere.

I graduated from the University of South Alabama in 2014 with a degree in political science and a minor in meteorology. I started writing about the weather at a political website (of all places!) in 2009 and it grew into an unusual but rewarding freelancing career that’s taken me from one big publication to the next.

I taught myself how to use GIS software from scratch in 2014. I’m proud of the weather maps I create to accompany my writing. It brings an aesthetic and informative quality that copying and pasting from other websites just can’t match.
