Joseph Cooper (JT)
Founder and Meteorologist
JT studied Meteorology first at the College of DuPage and then completed the Broadcast and Operational Meteorology Program at Mississippi State University. He has always had a passion and love for weather, especially severe weather. Supercells and tornadoes have always fascinated him and it's something he can never get enough of. He decided to turn that passion into a career, and was a Consulting Meteorologist for over two and a half years, before co-founding his own private meteorological consulting company. JT has been storm chasing for 16 years now, and has over a decade of forecasting experience. He interned at WISH-TV 8 in Indianapolis under Meteorologists Ken Brewer and Robb Ellis. He is also a co-founder of the C-C Index, a tornado forecasting parameter that is currently in testing. In his free time, JT enjoys going on adventures, exploring, storm chasing, traveling, golfing, and fishing. JT founded the Indiana Storm Chaser's Convention (INChaserCon) in 2011. He is a die-hard Indiana University men's basketball fan and does not miss a game. Go Hoosiers! Curriculum Vitae
