After 3 decades as the Weekend Meteorologist & Weekday Feature Reporter, I retired from the TV News Merry-Go-Round at the legendary NBC10 / WJAR-TV in Providence, RI as of September, 2023, concentrating my efforts on growing my All Genres / All Eras web music radio station “Music Through the Tunnel of Time” musicthroughthetunneloft
NBC10 was my longest continuous broadcast experience, where I won the New England Emmy Award twice for Outstanding Weathercaster, and garnered a third for being the Meteorologist on a newscast in the aftermath of a hurricane that impacted Southern New England in 2021.
There have been television stints in Harrisburg, PA at WHP-TV from 1990 – 1993 as a Weatherman and Reporter, Miami at then WCIX-TV from 1985 – 1990 as a part time Weekend Weather Anchor.
Prior to that, 2 years of television for Palmer Cablevision in Naples, Florida at NewsWatch 9 as a Weatherman and Feature Reporter. There I had my first experience at world-wide exposure, after sending a feature story on the Swamp Buggy Races to CNN (it was used as the “kicker” story on Headline News for 2 days in a row – every other half hour!).
My first job in TV was at WTVE-TV / TV51 in Reading, PA.
