There comes a time in everyone's life where an unexpected road will lead us on a beautiful journey. For me, this journey began on remote County Road 4 in Nebraska in 2018.

I'll never forget stepping out of the car and feeling the muggy summer heat against my skin. As the wind hurriedly blew across the corn laden landscape, I stepped into the road and laid eyes upon this multi-layered supercell. Rising at over 50,000 feet, I gazed in awe at the sheer beauty of Mother Nature as this storm churned and twisted in the sky towards me. It was at this moment I felt as though a mere speck of sand upon this vast sphere of dust and water called Earth.

"Tempest" was the first structured supercell I ever saw and kickstarted an unexpected passionate journey into storm chasing and storm photography. Most roads are meant to carry us from point A to point B. The road and storm you're staring at in this piece has taken me on a road trip where the destination is unknown, but the journey itself is filled with the rawest connections to Mother Nature.
