His first job came as the weekend Meteorologist in Lake Charles, Louisiana where he had the opportunity to cover numerous amounts of severe weather as well as one of the strongest hurricanes to hit the state. He loves to spend my time outdoors taking hikes, playing golf and doing some fishing. He's looking forward to exploring the mountains and learning of the diverse climates of Eastern Tennessee and Southeastern Kentucky.
