Neil was part of the Weather World team from 1997 until April, 1999. He is a native of Northampton, PA, which is situated just north of Allentown, PA, in the beautiful Lehigh Valley in the eastern part of the state. Neil's interest in the weather began during his childhood, and he has attained a B.S. in meteorology from Penn State. He completed his master's degree in the same field in early May 1996. His research interests were in severe thunderstorms and flash flood-producing storms.

Neil graduated from Penn State with a B.S. in Meteorology in 1997, and an M.S. in Meteorology in 1999 under the guidance of Dr. Greg Forbes. He subsequently moved to Atlanta, GA where he currently resides and works for The Weather Channel. He began working as a software developer but ultimately worked his way into a management position. He is currently part of a team of meteorologists and software developers responsible for managing, creating, and distributing weather content to all of TWC’s platforms, and his focus is in the area of weather graphics and graphics systems. Neil and his family enjoy good food, spending time with family and friends, and traveling together, especially anywhere with a beach. They love to go for long walks or other exercise, and are sure not to miss any PSU football games on TV.
