Hi, I’m Alan from Orange County, California, and I’m excited to be chasing again this year with Todd as I have nearly every year since 2002. I’ve been a weather junkie all my life, but being a native Californian, I’ve always lived in the absolute worst place for it. I can remember, as a child, staying up all night in hopes of just catching a flash of lightning or a rumble of thunder from our infrequent thunderstorms. That’s why I look forward year-round to when spring rolls around so I can once again witness the incredible spectacle of some of the world’s most severe weather in the Great Plains. I’m taking an extended break from work life and doing a lot of international travel while concentrating on two of my favorite hobbies: scuba diving and underwater photography.
