Michael grew up in Pennsylvania right outside the city of “Brotherly Love” and is excited to take on the Pine Tree State.
He graduated from Northern Vermont University-Lyndon in May 2022 with a bachelor's in Atmospheric Sciences. While in college, he forecasted road conditions for Vermont Agency of Transportation and was a virtual college associate for FOX Weather. He was also an on-air student meteorologist for the university’s news program, News 7.
Shortly after graduating college, Michael hit the road and made his way up the East Coast to join the WABI family. He is beyond excited to start serving this community and fully committed himself to a Maine lifestyle.
When he isn't watching the sky, he’s usually watching TV, walking around the city, or cooking his favorite meals.
