During his career, Chris has forecast and covered all types of weather: hurricanes, blizzards, flooding, historic ice floes. Over his career, he has been awarded three EMMYs, two NBC GEM awards and Wisconsin Broadcaster awards. During his time in Boston, Chris earned his MS in Emergency Management from Millersville University in Pennsylvania. He also began the nation’s first weekly Climate Change broadcast. He hosted a weekly online Q&A with some of Boston’s top scientists; all to bring attention to the Climate Crisis. Chris was recruited to become Chief Meteorologist in Des Moines, Iowa because of this ability to tie weather patterns to climate change with facts and statistics. However, climate deniers did not approve of his coverage, and Chris received death threats and decided it was time for a career change. Chris had been working for Arcadis in climate mitigation and resilience taking on many different roles as needed. More recently he earned his CCM (Certified Consulting Meteorologist) accreditation from the American Meteorological Society. With his diverse background, Chris returned to Massachusetts to work with Woodshole Group on climate solutions.
