Books: Cosmos by Carl Sagan, which I read cover to cover in 6th grade.

Movies: I'm a trekkie. Just about anything that is Sci-Fi works for me.

Music: If its good, I'll probably listen to it, unless its rap or hip pop or that kind of crap.

Hobbies: I only have one hobby left, which is weather. I've studied weather for 26 years, so I like to think I know a little something about it.

I'm a storm chaser with 10+ years experience and 50+ tornadoes under my belt. I'm mostly a regional chaser in Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio. I will occasionally go to Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, or Wisconsin if the conditions look good enough. I've been on extended trips to the plains twice, in May '04 and June '05. Trying to gather the funding for a third plains trip this year.I'm married with three wonderful children ages 5, 3, and 2. My family is the reason I haven't turned into a full time storm chaser... can't be away from them that long.
