Author John Carroll is a broadcast meteorologist who has worked in nearly every region of the country. He began forecasting weather in Montana in the early 90's, and since then has prognosticated in Arizona, Alabama, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Ohio and Michigan. Although forecasting the weather is John's occupation, his real passion is teaching. For over a decade he has been traveling to various elementary schools educating children about weather and weather forecasting. He hopes that by passing on his knowledge of weather to youngsters, he may inspire a few of them to pursue a career in meteorology.
