Jeff is 24 years old, born and raised in San Antonio, Texas. Jeff became interested in severe weather at the young age of 8. It all started when he was playing outside and he noticed a funnel forming overhead. The funnel never became a tornado, but this sparked his interest in severe weather. He then moved to Lubbock, Texas in 2005 to go to school at Texas Tech. Wreck'em. There he began to see the great weather of the south plains. He began chasing in spring of 2006. Jeff graduated in May '09 with a Bachelors of Science in Geosciences and decided to move to Omaha, NE where he currently lives. When Jeff is not chasing storms, he enjoys playing tennis, basketball, soccer and golf. He also enjoys studying the bible, playing drums, and playing guitar. Jeff is now also teamed up with Severe Studios and is a associate contracted chaser with SS. Jeff started this site May 2009 to post his video and pictures of his chases.

Tammy began to have an interest in weather at a fairly young age. After seeing several funnel clouds, and a couple of tornadoes in the DFW area, in the early to mid 70's, her family moved to Vernon, Tx. It was there that she experienced what it was like to be "in" a tornado. Tammy can still recall everything about that day. On April 10, 1979, an F5 tornado measuring approximately 1 mile wide, tore thru Vernon and then thru Wichita Falls, leaving death and destruction in its wake. She was in 5th grade. Tammy's math teacher and her new baby were tragically killed in this storm. Thus began a passion for weather and helping people. Tammy has read every book, attended classes (storm spotter, skywarn, etc), watched videos, so on and so forth, to learn as much as she could about severe weather. Tammy also became a paramedic. She has 2 kids in high school. Her hobbies include motorcycles, horses, guitar, singing, sports, pretty much anything outdoors. Tammy is a TRC chaser currently in the DFW area.
