Hello and welcome to my website! As you can see in the picture above and below I am attracted to active weather, both warm and cold season phenomena! The tornado occurred on 5 June 2009 in Goshen County, Wyoming during the SUNY Oswego Storm Forecasting and Observation Program and Project VORTEX-2 while the 50+ inches of snow fell on Oswego in late January 2004. I love teaching and showing students how to observe the weather and interpret those observations. My research interests are focused on understanding the microphysics (particle types in the clouds; e.g., rain vs. snow) and the electrification of lake-effect storms. I am also interested in understanding why some rotating supercell thunderstorms produce tornadoes while others do not.
It is a dream come true to be a professor and to talk about the weather all day, but my main passion is caring for my family. I have an awesome wife and two boys who are the light of my life! To them I dedicate all my accomplishments, which mean nothing without them!
Cheers,
Scott
