Chief Meteorologist in Charlotte, NC. Weather guy, proud App State grad, dog lover, complex, direct, no fluff on air sort of person. I enjoy football, cooking, making pastries (carrying mom's pie making gift forward!), candy maker, raised bed gardener, curmudgeon at large, and bow tie wearing person. Sharp wit, dry sense of humor, common sense and sees the world in the BIG picture most of the time. Love coastal NC & KBS in Boone!
