NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
Photos I've taken of our alcohol minimum thermometers were used by the National Geographic for their show, "The Science of Winter" which aired on the National Geographic Channel in February 2007.

L.A. PIERCE COLLEGE ON THE BIG SCREEN!
I loaned some weather sensors and shelters that belong to me that I've used here at Pierce College that were used as set dressing in the Adam Sandler movie titled, "You Don't Mess with the Zohan".

TELEVISION COMMERCIAL SHOOT
I also used wind sensors loaned to him by fellow climatologist, William T. Reid, along with my own equipment to determine wind speeds for a Toyota truck commercial shoot out in Barstow, California. These measurements were used to calibrate 8-foot diameter industrial fans that were used in a stunt. A special thanks to Certified Weather Observer, Jamie Stern, for her help on the project!
