2016 Chase Partner Thread

Hi everyone! I posted in a different thread and was referred here so thought I would chime in. I am a full time photographer based off of the island of Kauai, Hawaii and have chased as an amateur for about 15 years (I grew up in the midwest). I am looking to do a two week trip to the mainland this year to be fully focused on storm photography. I am a very experienced photographer and have all the gear needed to shoot any situation. I am mostly looking to find like minded people with different skill sets who can either meet up or who already have plans that I can come to you. I would really like to find a good meteorologist at least to chase with for safety reasons because I don't trust my knowledge nearly enough for that responsibility. I can basically travel anywhere in the country at any given time since I do it for a living. I do currently have a trip planned to the mainland for the third week in May and would gladly piggy back the three weeks together to avoid a second airfare all the way back to the islands. If you want to check out some of my work feel free, its at www.BensViewfinder.com and if anyone is interested in trying to put something together feel free to email me at [email protected].
 
Another season just around the corner & I'm looking to tag along with someone a chase or two. Having a child has made it more difficult for Christine & I to chase. Not a fan of chasing solo. So I'm hoping to find an experienced chaser(s) to catch a few setups.

Storm chasing is one of my biggest passions. I'm out there for the storm. Not there for glory, fame or fortune. Witnessed close to four dozen tornadoes from various distances. Well traveled. Amateur forecaster. CPR/FirstAid Certified. Have my own equipment and will pay for most of the gas for trip. Home base is Kearney, Nebraska.

This just scratches the surface of what I would like to go over with anyone that is interested. You can message me here, FB or Twitter. Email: [email protected]

Good luck & Stay Safe!

if anyone ever happens to be in the Omaha/Bellevue/Plattsmouth area of Nebraska, feel free to let me know and I'll tag along, taking spotter training on March 29th and only 15, but I hope to be out chasing this summer, might even be able to help pay for gas/food.

Email is [email protected] or [email protected] I check each regularly and I'm not always online here.

Douglas County's Spotter Training is Tuesday March 22nd at Boys Town. I will be in attendance with DCEMA. If you can make it, stop up and introduce yourself.
 
I like to play the odds. I know by doing so that I will lose out on some opportunities but like to try to play the best hand.I am not one who likes to chase every cloud. I like to increase my odds and wait until the end of April every spring when things start to pick up.This is when I pick up too. With that said I am interested and always would like to hear from people who are looking for LOCAL chase partners who would like to get together, pitch in for gas for the opportunity to learn and photograph the mesocyclone up close. I am based in the Norman area If this sounds like something you would be interested in and have questions, please feel free to message me anytime. I would like to hear from you.
 
I chase regularly out of College Station in SE Texas. I don't always go alone, but at least 2/3rds of my outings are solo. I always welcome a partner or more and I am happy to do the driving (although I'm not married to the wheel by any means). I have been chasing for many years, I am a graduate student in atmospheric sciences and although severe weather forecasting is far from my specialty I feel confident in my abilities. If anyone is interested in joining me, just shoot me a PM. Thanks
 
Going to head out Tuesday morning from Omaha, can only do Tues and Wed. If anyone is interested in joining, send me a PM!
 
Looking for an experienced storm chaser to ride along with when I don't have to work this summer. Willing to pay for all of my costs and part of the other chasers costs. I want to go with an experienced chaser so I can "learn the ropes" with them. Please PM me if you are interested. I also live in Iowa. Thanks, Dylan
