I have been providing forecasts for Fun107 for more than a decade. I am a Certified Broadcast Meteorologist who spent 14 years at WLNE-TV in Providence, RI. I am currently the Chief Meteorologist at Right Weather, LLC providing updated New England forecasts to private clients and the general public at rightweather.com and via the RightWX app for Android and iOS devices. I am also a consulting and forensic meteorologist. When I'm not forecasting fickle weather patterns, I'm hanging out with my wife and three kids in Bristol, RI. I am an avid runner, and have completed a couple of marathons and a bunch of half-marathons in the past few years. If you see me at a race, stop by and say "hi"!
