have been fascinated by the weather since I was
a very young child. I proudly served for four years
in the United State Air Force as a weather specialist
and forecaster, leaving active duty in 1982 to join
a fledgling experiment, The Weather Channel, in
its first months of existence. After serving as
a Senior Meteorologist and On-Camera Meteorologist
at TWC for several years, I took a job as a meteorologist
and environmental science reporter at the ABC affiliate
television station in Milwaukee. It was there, in
1987, that I began actively studying the issue of
global warming, and where I interviewed Senator
Al Gore during his first presidential bid in 1988.
During my many years as Chief Meteorologist and
Environmental Reporter at WJBK-FOX2 here in Detroit,
I continued to follow and report upon the scientific
evolution and public perception of global warming.
I was among a group of about 100 weathercasters
invited to a White House summit in 1997, focusing
on the latest in climate science. I also won two
Michigan Emmys for my weather reporting and one
for weather anchoring.
Though still working part-time
for FOX2 in Detroit, I have been a full-time weather
educator, as the weatherWhysguy, since December
2004.

have enjoyed researching, arguing, and debating
about public policy issues for over thirty years.
I was a national and state champion debater and
speaker in high school, and I went on to teach and
coach debate and speech to high school students
while I was in college. I coached teams to state
and national championships and served as a faculty
member at Georgetown University’s summer debate
institute for four years. My love of argument led
me to a career in trial law. After I graduated from
Harvard Law School with honors in 1987, I became
a litigation attorney for a large corporate law
firm in Detroit. I argued before a variety of trial
and appellate courts, Including the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Although I left the
practice of law several years ago, I have since
become active as a speaker, author, and columnist
on issues relating to one of my other passions:
sound parenting. While I have no expertise in the
area of weather or climate, my experience as a trial
attorney, debate instructor, and interested citizen
has made me an energetic and well-informed skeptic
on the subject of climate change. |
