Meteorologist. Author. Musician.


E komo mai! Welcome, as they say in Hawaiian. I am a meteorologist pursuing my Ph.D. at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa in Honolulu.

My primary research interests include the study of severe weather events such as hurricanes and tornadoes. Most recently, I have been involved with hurricane and typhoon intensity research. By navigating the menus to the left, you will find details of my ongoing and past research projects, teaching materials, and field experiences. You can also find my books, academic publications, and personal essays about a variety of topics.

In addition to my career in meteorology, nature beckons my will to explore. I am an avid writer, musician, and outdoorsman. I find passion in writing books, performing classical piano, and answering the call of the wild. My latest thoughts and essays that span a spectrum of topics from meteorology to philosophy, life lessons, outdoor adventures, and world affairs can be found in my Blog. Please take a look!
