I dove head first into weather and forecasting by reading several weather books, keeping a daily notebook and a utilizing a cloud chart to try and figure out what was going on in the atmosphere. I would sit in the back yard noting temperature, cloud types and wind direction while trying to put together my own forecasts.

Fast forward to college, while my first degree is in computer science, I worked with the Atmospheric Sciences department at Colorado State University during the testing of their new CHILL radar facility in Northeastern Colorado. I spent much of my free time in spring and summer chasing severe weather in Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas and Texas. I picked up a lot of my severe weather and forecasting knowledge from chasing and observing storms on the plains.

In 2022 after years of storm chasing, forecasting for Colorado’s front range, the mountains and select areas across the Western U.S. I went back to school to officially get my Meteorology degree. I am currently working on a degree with emphasis in Broacast and Operational Meteorology at Mississippi State. 

Mountain Wave Weather was created to enjoy and share the passion of Colorado, the Rocky Mountain Region and the Western United States’ weather. Today it helps educate people on weather phenomena, climate and variability. 

With a strong focus on the Palmer Divide region of Colorado, Mountain Wave Weather ensures people are aware, prepared and ahead of high impact weather events.

In addition to my public forecasts on Facebook and this Website (designed to help individuals stay ahead of the weather) Mountain Wave Weather also offers consulting services for small business. Whether you need to give your employees a heads up of an upcoming snow storm, notify outdoor staff of potential severe weather such as hail or lighting or if you are an event planner trying to ensure your attendees stay safe, we can help!
