TV and Radio Station Interviews:  

 

Tornado Tim is the one you want if you are looking for an exciting interview with plenty of enthusiasm. Reporting is available for radio or TV interviews about severe weather. I share my passion for severe weather in every interview and being both an author and tornado chaser, I speak from experience with clarity.   

Experienced in both radio and TV, I have been on CNN, The Discovery channel, local and national TV and radio shows. I also have international experience working with France TV 2, NTV Russian network and Japanese TV networks and am a regular on the BBC radio network. I gladly welcome international crews wanting to work with me and will do everything possible to get you a great story. 

Tornado Tim is someone you can trust.  I represent a new breed of chaser, giving you the heartbeat of the new chasing subculture.  In addition to tornado/storm chasing, I have a private pilot's license, have authored books, enjoy photo/video journalism and am frequently a guest speaker on tornadoes and severe weather.
