Storm Chasing Trip Of 2026 Completed (6/21)

Storm chasing has been very busy this year, with my main "expedition" trip taking place from April 19 through June 21. On April 19 I headed out of Florida with VIP observer Jeffrey Lam, who flew back to Florida on April 30. I continued chasing storms until late June, ultimately returning to Florida on June 21, after witnessing 32 possible tornadoes and within time and budget constraints.

Introduction To Storm Chasing (4/15)

For anyone making the decision to go storm chasing solo, or in small groups (as opposed to formal storm chasing tours), I put up a very informative presentation that explains the ins and outs of storm chasing with high-resolution illustrations and touches very important subjects. This is a great resource for anyone thinking of taking up storm chasing.

Skydiving IS Dangerous - KNOW Fear! (3/6)

Skydiving is an awesome sport I enjoyed for many years. But never become complacent - Humble pie will strike when you least expect it. "Attitude" is a real important aeronautical term and aspect, not just a superficial person blocking you on a dating app.

Wishing everyone a happy and safe holiday as 2025 draws to a close and the New Year of 2026 approaches!

Respecting Those Of Tragic Losses (12/1)

Once "broken" = It's never the same again: Losing a friend or loved one is NOT easy. And unfortunately, the initial loss of that person has become the start of a chain of hardship for their survivors - Often dealing with loss of companionship from other family members and friends, even the dreaded "melancholy".

Hurricane Melissa Hits Jamaica (10/28)

Hurricane Melissa was one of the strongest hurricanes in the Atlantic basin, packing maximum sustained winds at a staggering 185 MPH (near 300 KM per hour) and a central pressure of 892 MB (26.30")! The storm made landfall in Jamaica at this full intensity near New Hope during the late morning of October 28. The storm caused unimaginable devastation along the storm path across the island nation. I had plans to chase this hurricane, but canceled them since the aftermath would be dangerous and challenging. Out of a scant few of storm chasers, Josh Morgerman (iCyclone) was the closest to the storm near Crawford. Jamaica needs ANY HELP they can get.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy New Year 2025! 2024 was a challenging year for me, but more good things happened to be grateful for.

Thanksgiving 2024 And Beating Cancer (11/28)

Hurricane season draws to a close on November 30, and the holidays are upon us. Thanksgiving really had a meaning this year ... Since I managed to beat cancer over the course of 2024. This was a very rare form of MALE breast cancer, called "invasive papillary carcinoma". I first noticed something was wrong after a bruise I got while skydiving in 2022 never quite healed - Leaving a fluid-filled area under my left breast. This is what made me see a doctor, and eventually I found that the cancer was a "tiny speck" surrounded by the fluid-filled sac! This "alerted" me into catching it early and seeking treatment, preventing its spread, and saving my life and health. I put this video out there so people can get advice, and be aware of the insidious effects of such diseases. The video also shows my journey to being cured, and rather interesting aspects of my treatment (including radiation therapy).


I posted a video of this in the GALLERY section of my website. However, you can jump straight to the section on my web-site for my video of a detailed story explaining this journey to better health by clicking the link below.
