His interest in weather began at a young age, mostly because he loved snowstorms and thunderstorms. He started giving weather forecasts to his fourth grade class, making weather maps and symbols while using a marker to draw fronts. While growing up, Dean loved to watch the local weather information on the Lancaster and Philadelphia news. In fact his favorite weatherman was WPVI-TV’s Jim O’Brien, an AccuWeather Client.
