Biography:
I am a lead forecaster with the National Weather Service forecast office in La Crosse, WI and have worked with the NWS for 16 years. I began my weather service career at the Anchorage, AK office in 2009 before moving to Des Moines, IA in 2011. I later worked at the Topeka, KS office from 2016-2021 before moving to La Crosse. My main areas of expertise involve severe weather warnings, radar interrogation, and post-event storm surveying. I grew up in the Twin Cities and graduated from the University of North Dakota with a B.S. in atmospheric sciences.
