numerical weather prediction – data assimilation – NOAA GDAS/UFO development – formerly Univ. Wisconsin / SSEC / CIMSS. Header courtesy of KC Phillips, Doomsday LLC, Seattle. Pic taken from the Great Wheel in Seattle. There's suddenly a lot of Seattle in this bio, but I'm really a Wisconsin person. Big fan of Seattle, though. Great place, no complaints.

I'm interested in genetics, molecular and evolutionary biology, botany, native plants, native bees, ecosystem restoration and rewilding, climate change, bioinformatics, health, epidemiology, demographics, anthropology, history, technology, AI, systems, our future, art, and a few other things.

AWC met ✈️. I tell planes where they shouldn't fly and then they do anyway. Previously NWS MQT, Stony Brook ('18), Valpo ('15). All thoughts/opinions mine only. He/him

I obtained a BE in Mechanical Engineering to work in alternate energy. After my bachelors, I joined the U.S. Peace Corps and was a high school math teacher in Kenya (1983-85) during the time of a severe drought. This led me to pursue a graduate degree in Atmospheric Sciences, which has turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. I teach and conduct research on Alaska/Arctic climate variability and change. I am lucky to work with people from various disciplines. Always learning!
