Current job title: Kentucky Mesonet systems meteorologist.

Hometown: Whigham, Ga.

Family members: Partner, Aaron.

The one thing no one knows about me is … I’m actually more of a country person at heart, even though I seem like a city person.

My dream job is … what I’m doing. I’m actually a meteorologist.

My first job was … bartender.

The best advice I ever got was … to make attainable goals.

My hero (and why) is … probably my dad. Even though he doesn’t have a degree or anything like that, he finished college and went straight into farming. … He’s provided for our family from sun up to sun down as every good farmer does.

If I could do it all over again, I … would go back to school again and finish my doctorate.

The part of my job I could do without is … 100-degree weather and chiggers.

The one thing I always carry with me is … my phone.

Best meal I ever had was … cheesy meatloaf.

At the top of my bucket list is … to see Yellowstone.
