Curt's passion for weather was born here in New England.
Curt was born and raised in Massachusetts and went to college in Vermont where he got his degree in Atmospheric Sciences from Lyndon State College (now Northern Vermont University at Lyndon) in 2014. While at Lyndon, he interned for the Vermont Institute of Applied Meteorology forecasting road conditions along with interning at WFXT in Boston. Curt also worked at the college's local news station, News7, where he provided the forecast for local towns.
After graduation, Curt moved to Bismarck, ND to be the morning meteorologist at KFYR-TV. He spent close to 7 years there forecasting everything from severe weather to blizzards and even wind chill values as cold as -65°.
Curt is excited to continue his career back in New England and Maine especially.
In his free time, Curt enjoys spending time with his dog Sakura, hitting the ski slopes, and enjoying a good beverage.
