About Me

Nick Nicholson




This website is sort of a self-service thing. I spend more time on Facebook these days, and that's where you'll find the latest photos, music, and so on. Feel free to look me up and "friend" me. Click on the badge to find me there.

I am not a full time storm chaser. Very few of us are. Most who can claim they are, are research scientists for the government, and even they have other work for when there aren't any storms. I began storm chasing in 1997, combining two of my favorite things: a love of weather (especially severe weather), and photography.

At present, I do not have a chase partner. In the past, I have chased with Matt Crowther (of the Weather Channel), and Steve Sponsler (who works at Cape Canaveral in Florida), as well as a few others. During the spring, I usually chase in the Great Plains (Tornado Alley) for at least a couple of weeks, then later in the year, I chase the monsoon storms of the desert, as one of the few professional lightning photographers in the world.

Professionally, I operate a courier company in Phoenix. I'm also a writer, awaiting pending publication of my first two novels. Additionally,I have a band called Sunstorm One. You can find out more about our music by clicking on "Diversions" to your left.

Thanks for stopping by...
