At the age of three, Trey’s fascination for severe weather blossomed after watching a 48 Hours documentary on the devastating Moore, Oklahoma, F5 tornado of May 3, 1999. Soon after, he was performing mock severe weather coverage in front of his parents, dressing up as Twister’s Bill Paxton for Halloween, and hooked on studying supercells and tornadoes.
As a native Arizonan, Trey earned his chasing stripes during the annual summer monsoon season, during which he captured numerous dust storms, incredible lightning, and breathtaking storm structure beginning in 2011. Trey took his first trip to the Great Plains in May 2015 and received a warm welcome from a stationary supercell that produced multiple photogenic tornadoes (his first) near Canadian, TX. Since then, he has chased and documented scores of supercells, tornadoes, and hurricanes from northern Minnesota to the Alabama Gulf Coast and everywhere in between.
In pursuit of a career in meteorology, Trey earned a B.S. degree in Geography (with emphasis in Meteorology/Climatology) from Arizona State University in 2018 and a M.S. degree in Meteorology from the University of Oklahoma in 2021. Here, he was fortunate enough to work alongside tornado science pioneer Dr. Howie Bluestein as a driver/operator of the RaXPol mobile radar.
