As a storm chaser and meteorologist based in Minnesota, my work is fundamentally rooted in a lifelong fascination with the raw power and beauty of storms. My journey began in 2005, when a severe weather event struck the northern Twin Cities suburbs, igniting an obsession with understanding and capturing these fleeting moments of atmospheric chaos. This curiosity led me to pursue a degree in meteorology, deepening my knowledge of the science behind the storms I chase.
Through my photography and studies, I aim to showcase the awe-inspiring, often unpredictable nature of the Midwest’s weather patterns. My images reflect the intricate dance of chaos and order—highlighting how storms, while seemingly destructive, are also a testament to the dynamic beauty of our atmosphere as it seeks equilibrium. I seek to invite viewers into this incredible world, where turbulence transforms into art, and the storm’s fury reveals the grandeur of natural forces at work.
My practice is driven by curiosity and reverence for nature’s power, and I hope my work inspires a deeper appreciation for the storm’s majestic chaos and the science that helps us understand it.
