The Storm Chaser
Billed as "America's top storm chaser" by MSNBC and the Arizona Daily Star, Faidley has made a 20-year career out of pursuing some of the planet's most extreme weather.
Faidley’s interest in storm chasing can be traced to his childhood, when he spent his time riding his bicycle into dust devils. His very first tornado chase in 1987 landed him in Saragosa, Texas a small community that had been swept away by a violent tornado. His professional career was launched after he took a photograph of lightning hitting a light pole in an oil and gasoline tank farm in Tucson, AZ. The image was published in Life Magazine, billing him as a "Storm Chaser”. In 1997 the US Trademark Office recognized Faidley’s unique business enterprises by awarding him with a Service Mark for the term "Storm Chaser."

Famous quotes containing the word storm:
“Many Americans imagine simpler times even as a storm of social change swirls about, blowing parents here and children there. Sure, the 1950s ideal world would be wonderful. But knock on the nation’s doors: Ozzie and Harriet are seldom at home.”
—Leslie Dreyfous (20th century)
