Dave joined the Weather World forecast team in December 2000. However, he began working behind the scenes in March 2000, assisting in the production of many of the graphics you see each and every night on Weather World.
Dave came to Weather World from Washington Township, New Jersey, located just outside of Philadelphia. Before coming to Penn State, Dave was extremely active in youth sports. In addition to playing high school ice hockey, he coached several sports, including baseball, ice hockey, and soccer. He was also involved in officiating all of those sports. Here in central Pennsylvania, Dave continued to be very involved in ice hockey, and could be found at several area rinks as a high school and college ice hockey referee.
Dave enjoys attending Penn State sporting events and catching the Flyers and Eagles on TV.
Dave first fell in love with the weather in the early 1980s, when a storm dropped 26" of snow in his backyard. Since then, winter has always been his favorite season, topped off by the Blizzard of 1996, which dropped 31" of snow in Philadelphia, leaving Dave grinning ear-to-ear. He also enjoys spending summer days at the beach, and spring days on the baseball fields.

Dave graduated in May 2001. He spent 2 years as Chief Meteorologist at WHIZ in Zanesville, Ohio. Dave then moved to the NBC affiliate, WHAG in Hagerstown, MD for 2 more years where he covered some things from the Presidents’ Day Blizzard to 18 tornadoes produced in the viewing area in a 4 hour span during Hurricane Ivan. He has been at WBRE since June 2005 where most recently he led our stations coverage during the devastating June 2006 flash flooding (8-14” of rain in 5 days).
