From a bright, sunny day in July to a cold, snowy day in January, Thomas Zerebny has always been fascinated by the ever-changing weather conditions across the world. In 2008, he graduated from Northern Illinois University with a B.S. in Geography.

He is currently employed by Crop-Tech Consulting, Inc., where he’s able to blend his passions for both soil and meteorology.
