Bio: Dave spent nearly a decade (1990s) as an on-air broadcast meteorologist for NBC4 in Washington, DC, appeared on NBC's Today Show multiple times and designed and launched the very first TV weather website in the nation, WeatherNet4 (1995). He also co-organizes and hosts the Glen Gerberg Weather and Climate Summit, a national summit that brings together TV meteorologists and scientists to advance TV meteorologist's understanding and communication of extreme weather impacts and climate science to build a more resilient nation. With NASA support StormCenter delivered the 2017 solar eclipse LIVE to an audience of millions from Salem, Oregon. With support from NOAA and NASA StormCenter has also produced a live-streamed workshop for broadcast meteorologists in conjunction with the 2016 launch of GOES-R advanced weather satellite from Kennedy Space Center. Dave is frequently invited to make keynote presentations to groups across the nation and stresses the importance of integrating science and earth observing results into the decision-making process to improve resilience to extreme weather and the impacts of a changing climate. Dave has also worked for the nation's leading private weather company and at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD.
