In more than two decades at the station, Mike has taken us through multiple life-threatening Hurricanes and tropical storms, such as Harvey in 2017 and Nicholas last year, to deadly Tropical Storm Allison in 2001 and Texas’ Big Freeze when the power grid failed in 2021.

Mike began his career in meteorology as a weather intern at WSVN-TV in Miami and then as a student meteorologist at Florida State University. In 1999, Mike went to work as the weekend weather anchor at KLFY-TV in Lafayette, La., until joining the FOX 26 Houston weather team in September 2000. Mike spends nearly all of his free time with his wife and daughters. And with the few remaining minutes he has free, he tries to exercise and practice his guitar.
