Greg received his B. S. in Meteorology at the State University of New York at Oswego, and then his M.S. in Atmospheric Science from Colorado State University . Currently, Greg is a University of Oklahoma meteorologist contracted to work for the National Weather Service (NWS) to research and develop innovative severe weather warning decision making technology including Doppler radar algorithms. He is stationed at the National Weather Center (NWC) in Norman, Oklahoma, and works with NSSL scientists to help transfer this new technology into NWS operations.

Additionally, Greg holds the position of the Operations Coordinator for the Experimental Warning Program (EWP) spring experiments at the NOAA Hazardous Weather Testbed (HWT). In the past, Greg served as an NSSL group manager responsible for warning application R&D. Throughout Greg's 21 year career, he has had opportunities to participate in a number of special research projects, including several storm intercept programs (e.g., VORTEX, STEPS, V2), as well as real-time NWS warning decision proof-of-concept tests at about 15 forecast offices nationwide.

Greg has been chasing storms in the Great Plains since 1987 and has witnessed uncountable severe storms and tornadoes. Throughout his work and hobby, Greg has been interested in finding ways to help improve the hazardous weather information delivered to a wide spectrum of users from "end-to-end", from new and innovative severe weather applications and decision assistance as well as improved delivery methods and product.
