About Us

Welcome to Meteorology101, as a United States Marine Corps Veteran. I spent a year and a half as a weather observer while completing the required prerequisites to be accepted into weather forecasting school. After graduating, I spent two years on the desk as an aviation weather forecaster; briefing pilots on the weather conditions expected along their flight paths in the United States and around the world.
