I'm currently a Graduate Student at the Univeristy of Missouri-Columbia, pursuing my Doctoral degree in Meteorology with Dr. Patrick Market as my faculty advisor.  I'm originally from Indianapolis, IN.  After graduating from high school, I spent some time attending Indiana University and I.U.P.U.I. for the first couple of years.  Once I finally figured out that I wanted to go into Meteorology, I transferred over to Purdue University in the Fall of '96.  I obtained by B.S. in August of 2000 in their Atmospheric Program and spent the next six months trying to secure employment in the field.   I returned to Purdue in the Fall of '01 as a graduate student, under the direction of Dr. Phil Smith, and obtained my M.S. degree in August of 2003.  Along my college journey, I had worked part and full time at a grocery store chain (MARSH Supermarkets) back in Indiana, serving in several different departments as a reliable, hard working employee.
