Professional Life

Jarod has dreamed of being a meteorologist since he was 5 years old.

After graduating from the University of Louisiana Monroe (ULM) with a Bachelor’s Degree in Atmospheric Sciences, Jarod worked in television for 19 years.

There is nothing Jarod enjoys more than helping others, and it is evident in his daily work.

Personal Life

Jarod met his wife, Sarah, in 2015. He instantly fell in love, she told him to take a hike. The two married in 2018.

Jarod is a father of two - Caden (16) and Addison (1). He also has a cat named Stanley who may join the Digital Weather Desk videos from time to time.

He enjoys completing Power Zone Pack challenges on the Peloton and golfing in whatever spare time he gets with a one year old.
