Down 100+ lbs.
Used to sit out at the park because I couldn’t keep up with my kids.
Used to sweat just walking stairs.
I stopped chasing the storm.
I became it.

Monday… I can stop thinking about you. Manifesting a tornado that photobombs a perfectly framed shot at golden hour.
Just give me one viral storm, universe…. Just one.
I’ll never ask again. I promise

Monday’s setup is getting that special look. Big-time CAPE, monster shear, daylight initiation — and a shot at isolated, violent tornadoes. This could be one of the best chase days of the year. #StormChasing #HighRiskVibes

Monday’s serving up all the right ingredients: 2500–3000 MLCAPE, 900–1100m LCLs, 45–50kt shear, and 0–1km SRH punching 250+. North-central Iowa looks primed for photogenic supercells and tornadoes if the early convection plays nice. Eyes up. #StormChasing #iawx

Who knew auroras were such chameleons? They change colors based on the altitude and chemical makeup of our atmosphere. A mini science lesson to boot. Here’s some real world observations and a handy dandy graphic. Which colors do you like 💁♂️ #wx #aurora #northernlights #nightsky #science #photography

I busted in Iowa big time. YouTubes full of epic chase footage that day. On the long drive home I was alone, far from my kids, wife & my home. I doubted my hobby. Passed a guy with his tripod out. Saw this in the mirror and stopped. It’s probably my fav 📸 this year, it meant so much 5/21/24😭🫶 IYKYK
