Thanks for visiting! I'm a year-round storm chaser & weather photographer covering St. Louis, the Midwest, the Great Plains and beyond. I've spent weeks on the road for the last 31 years covering all types of extreme weather. My goal is to capture nature's dramatic side, and in doing so, provide visitors to this site with educational information and exciting photography/video about severe storms and extreme weather. I specialize in capturing imagery and video of tornadoes, lightning, St. Louis, MO and the Gateway Arch, storms and all types of extreme weather. I also sell fine art prints of my work via my photo gallery.

30 Years of Storm Chasing & Photography: 1993-2023
A detailed account of the biggest threat to my photography and video operation that I have to battle daily to just barely survive. It's a problem facing all of my colleagues as well.
September and October of 2024 were very quiet in the Midwest for thunderstorms and severe weather. Celestial events made up for the dry spell, with several significant aurora outbursts and a rare comet appearance providing several days of night sky shooting.
