Curriculum Vitae
Brief Bio
I grew up in Charm City - Baltimore, Maryland.
I received a Bachelor's Degree in
Meteorology from Penn State
in 1990 and a Master's Degree in
Atmospheric Science from Colorado State Univ
in 1993. I am a member of the
American Meteorological Society (AMS)
and the
National Weather Association (NWA).
Within the NWA, I am a member of the
Aviation Weather Committee.
Basically, I'm a
"weather weenie".
Main Research
The core of my research relates to development & improvement of in-flight
aircraft icing diagnosis and prediction. At this time,
this primarily involves numerical modeling of microphysical processes using
the MM5 model. I also maintain a suite of
Realtime Weather data pages which led to the creation of an
aviation weather data site.
On a lighter note, I enjoy
Photographing weather phenomenon
(and nature in general).
Chasing storms,
particularly tornado-producing storms.
Hiking in the Colorado mountains.
Making and drinking homebrew.
