teaching and mentoring Chasers Since 2015
Learn to Forecast and Chase Tornadoes
You're Not A Tourist.
You're The Team.
Learn how to forecast and chase tornadoes alongside me, 20+ years of experience, maximum three guests, and a philosophy built on partnership. This is your storm too.
Hi, I'm David.
My mission is to educate people from around the world who want to learn to forecast and chase tornadoes. I teach meteorology, forecasting, and how to chase safely and successfully. And if you're an established chaser from overseas, I welcome you as a genuine storm chasing partner.
Tornado Alley has some of the wildest and most photogenic weather on Earth, and I want you to have an active and immersive experience chasing it. I lead small, enthusiastic groups that rely on each other for a fun, educational, and memorable experience.
No experience? No problem. If you share my passion for severe weather, I want you to have the opportunity to pursue it.
Built Different.
From The Ground Up.
I don't run a tour. I bring you into the fold as a genuine chase partner, teaching meteorology, running forecasting sessions, and making every decision together. You're in the vehicle. You're in the data. You're in the storm.
Max 3 Guests
I cap every trip at three guests. No crowds, just a tight team with full access to every decision, every data stream, every storm.
Live Forecasting
Morning and evening sessions reading models, Skew-T diagrams, and upper-air charts together. You leave knowing how to forecast, not just how to follow.
Safety Without Compromise
Safety is my highest concern, always. I read situations early and make conservative calls. You get close to storms, not recklessly inside them.
Any Starting Point
Chasers from 10+ countries have joined me, from total beginners to experienced meteorologists. I adjust the depth of every session to where you are.
Real People. Real Storms.
Chasers from 10+ countries have joined me in the field.
David is the best storm chasing guide I could have ever asked for and the trip went beyond my expectations.
It's like roadtripping across the country with 3 good friends opposed to being part of a tour.
Our two week chase with David was more than 5-star. The man put us on storms every day but one.
Those two weeks in Tornado Alley have been unforgettable, amazing and totally out of this world.

Every trip starts with a video interview. I screen all potential partners personally.
