......Adventures of a wayward woodland wanderer.....
|
|
A native of Gadsden, AL, I currently live in Madison, AL with my wife Laurel, with tons of pets & plants [photos and details
further down the page].
In a nutshell, I'm a photo taking, rock hopping, pen scratching, bonsai clipping, map drawing meteorology nerd. I do not, however,
have a degree in meteorology, though meteorology is my passion. My favorite topics are mesoscale and tropical meteorology, nowcasting, climatology,
and the urban environment. Some hobbies of mine besides what's obvious on this website are rock collecting, disc golf and playing the harmonica.
