For the past year I’ve covered two major hurricanes and countless severe weather stories for Weather Nation TV as a field correspondent.
Here’s my latest work on team coverage for Hurricane Laura.

Hurricane Coverage
onWhile working for the E.W. Scripps Company at KJRH-TV, I was selected to deploy for the company’s “jump team”.
During Hurricane Irma, I was stationed with Scripps-owned WFTX-TV Fort Myers / Naples.
As a result of my years worth of severe weather chasing on Southern Plains, I found hurricane coverage to be an entirely new challenge.
After Hurricane Irma made landfall, I was dispatched to report on the damage on Marco Island.
While on Marco Island, I ran into NBC News Correspondent Kerry Sanders on the beach.
Sanders already worked to save one baby dolphin washed up on shore.
Reporting
onI’ve called Tulsa, Oklahoma home for 5+ years. Tulsa is an incredible place and I’m grateful for the opportunity to cover news here. I signed on with “2 Works For You” Tulsa’s NBC affiliate in April 2017. Here’s my latest work for Fall/Winter 2018.

Active Live Shots: Live On A Boat
onGRAND LAKE, Okla. — In March 2016 I was chosen to cover the Bassmaster Classic on Grand Lake o’ the Cherokees for KOTV News On 6. On Day 2 of the competition, I covered the professional anglers from a chase boat. This is a montage of my coverage from that morning.
