Dan grew up in North Dallas and developed a passion for weather when he was a kid. After hearing a story from his second-grade teacher about a brush with death from a tornado and then witnessing a tornado on Royal Lane in the 1970s, Dan knew he wanted to be a meteorologist.
After seeing that tornado in Dallas in the mid-1970s, Dan asked his father to buy him a weather radio which NEVER left his side. He brought the weather radio to school, on camping trips, on his bicycle and slept with the radio by his side. He always wanted to be prepared and to let his
family know if there was severe weather coming.
Dan graduated from Texas A&M in 1999 and holds a B.S Degree in Meteorology. in 2023, he is celebrating his 25th year of on-air experience.
Dan broke into the weather industry in 1998 in Waco TX at KWTX-TV. Since then, he has worked at The Weather Channel, San Antonio and in Abilene, TX where he was Chief Meteorologist from 2006-2010 for KTAB-TV.
Dan joined CBS/Audacy Radio in 2010, where he has been covering weather for The Texas State Network and KRLD. He was promoted to Chief Meteorologist for KRLD in September 2016.
When Dan’s NOT chasing storms or watching his favorite sports teams the Texas Rangers, Dallas Mavericks and The Dallas Cowboys, he also enjoys spending time with his autistic son Logan, traveling, storm chasing and watch a good streaming TV series.
