Meteorologist @Atlanta News First
Verified
JD joined Atlanta News First in early 2025 as the weekend evening meteorologist. He is a native of metro Atlanta, growing up in Douglasville before pursuing his degree in Earth & Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech. Growing up in north Georgia, JD experienced severe weather, tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, ice storms, snow and even a blizzard! All of which fueled his passion for finding out what makes the weather tick. After college, his first job was right here at Atlanta News First as a weather producer before starting his on-air journey in Macon, GA. Stops in Chattanooga, TN and New Orleans, LA followed before a detour up north to Minneapolis which allowed him to cultivate and advance his winter forecasting skills. An avid traveler, you'll usually find him on his time off exploring a new destination or relaxing on the lake. When he's not travelling, JD enjoys spending time with his dog Marty, and his husband.More...
