So, its been a while since I have updated this page. Been busy and the architect of this page is so out dated from what the vision was to be that I’m working on a major overhaul and archive of this site before I launch the new site that will focus more on the photography and video work, not the story and blogs so much.
So what is up? I love it when people say I don’t chase anymore… I just don’t chase garbage storms.

Back on line. Not much to really say, lots of stuff going on behind the scenes with work and family but trying to post more on my page instead of Facebook.
Just got done with covering the winter storm here in Saint Cloud. Most of the day the temps were right at freezing so we were dealing with freezing rain more then snow until just about at sunset. Around six at night the snow started to fall and within a few hours, it was over but the damage was done with the underlying freezing rain under the snow.
Freezing Rain Winter Storm – Saint Cloud, MN 3/5/2018
In the next month or so, I will be redoing the whole website to make it easier for me to update on the fly along with the day job.
Winter is back, remember the ditches are for snowmobiles, not your SUV. Be careful out there driving and always make sure you have good tires on your vehicle. Yes I am still around, I have been just extremely busy with behind the scenes work for StormChasingVideo.com so I don’t get much time to update this site.
Once the SCV site is fully updated, I’m going to direct my attention to this site.
