“Mike works tirelessly to find the best storms and the best locations.”
“I’ve been lucky enough to be on two trips with Mike…. one for Monsoon and one epic journey in the Plains. Mike is enthusiastic about weather and it’s contagious. Mike works tirelessly to find the best storms and the best locations. I don’t know where he finds the energy! The great video he gets isn’t done by accident. I’m hoping to join Mike again in the future.”
