He went on to attend Mississippi State University, where he earned his master's in broadcast meteorology and geosciences.
He achieved his dream of being a TV meteorologist, working for KGBT CBS Valley 4 in Harlingen, Texas, for the last year and a half. Besides his love for weather science and family, he loved his first job at Eagles Landing Day Camp.
