Family
I have been happily married since 2004 to my wonderful wife Kristin. We are raising our 2 year old daughter Abigail and have another girl making her arrival in April. We moved home to Spokane, WA in 2009 to be near family support. As new parents of a special needs child it took us a while to get our bearings and feel like we could handle the hand we were dealt. Thankfully our daughter is developing beautifully and we are now more prepared then ever to have me re-enter the world of TV News and get back on-air. I recently finished my Broadcast Meteorology degree so I can officially call myself a Meteorologist. We're very excited to see where our next move will take us and I am looking forward to a very long career in weather.
