As a military weather guy for 10 years, he was handpicked to provide forecasts during high-level visits from members of Congress, the Secretary of Defense, and the President of the U.S. His tour in the Air Force allowed him to get real familiar with the southern climates where he was stationed in Florida, Mississippi, and Louisiana. He also spent 3 years forecasting at the base of the Alps in Italy and skiing from the tops. Jeff was also the recipient of the highest honor in Airman Leadership School, the coveted John Levitow Award.
Jeff’s last stop in the Air Force in Louisiana led to his first TV job at KALB in Alexandria. It was not a pretty transition, but it eventually led to a full-time gig in Bismarck, ND then Chief Meteorologist titles in Abilene, TX and most recently Toledo, OH. In 2002 and 2004, he and his Fox Toledo News Team won regional Emmys for Best Local Newscast.
Jeff’s presentation skills go way beyond the TV screen. His other passions include his weather education program that he takes to local elementary schools and the Teamwork-Followership Connection workshops that he provides to local organizations.
No matter how crazy his full-time career gets, Jeff always makes plenty of time for family.
