Discovering that his passion for acting wasn’t all that it seemed, he switched careers from acting to broadcasting, and worked on getting a Federal Aviation Administration certificate in meteorology to improve his meteorological credentials. His first few jobs had him working at several different stations throughout Charlottesville, Virginia, for WADA-LP and as an on-air personality for WQMZ-FM.

In 2005 he gained popularity during his coverage of the hurricane season in which he worked closely with the former director of the National Hurricane Center Max Mayfield, and joining Hurricane Hunters, collecting data as they observed the eye of Hurricane Isabel battering North Carolina.

He then went to work with WTVJ, an NBC owned and operated station in Miami, where he was the weather anchor for shows such as “Today in South Florida”. During his time there, he won an Emmy Award for Best on Air Talent. In 2007, he replaced John Bolaris, but then went on to join CBS 2 as the consistent weather anchor for the network, plus in the show “CBS This Morning Saturday”, and for sister radio station WCBS-AM 880 delivering their weather reports. He subsequently moved to be the lead weather anchor of WCBS-TV based in New York City.
