Technical Session 1 Extreme Weather by Mike Smith

1

Mike Smith likes to be known as a husband, father, scientist, entrepreneur, author, and speaker. Mike is one of America’s leading experts in the field of extreme weather and its effects on people, business and society.

After a successful career in television meteorology during which he broadcast a live tornado for the first time, he founded WeatherData, Inc. in 1981. WeatherData quickly became known for its innovation, customer service and excellence in precision forecasting.

Mike achieved his board certification as a consulting meteorologist in 1984. In 1992, he received the American Meteorological Society’s Award for Outstanding Contribution to Applied Meteorology for his innovative storm warnings. And, in 2000, WeatherData was honored with the Society’s award for Outstanding Contribution to Meteorology by a Corporation. He has been awarded 19 U.S. and foreign patents.

Because he wanted to take his products and services to a larger audience, Mike sold the assets of WeatherData to AccuWeather in 2006. He remained as CEO of WeatherData.

In 2011, AccuWeather’s traditional commercial business was united with WeatherData’s into the new AccuWeather Enterprise Solutions (AES). Mike became

2

Senior Vice President and Chief Innovation Executive and he continues in that position where he consults with some of the world’s most important companies. AES’s clientele includes IBM, BNSF Railway, Ford, Macy’s, Boeing, and most of the Fortune 100 companies.

A new chapter opened in Mike’s career in 2010 with Greenleaf Book Group publishing his first book, Warnings: The True Story of How Science Tamed the Weather. The book has received rave reviews and holds a 5-star rating at Amazon. As one reviewer put it:

This story turns the weather into a quest and meteorologists into the most unlikely heroes in recent literature.

A second independent reviewer compared Warnings to Tom Wolfe’s The Right Stuff.

His second book, When the Sirens Were Silent is a monograph that reveals, for the first time, what went wrong with the storm warning system during the Joplin, MO tornado of 2011 where 161 perished.

Mike is also a professional speaker who both educates and entertains audiences across the United States. Mike is married with three grown children and two children-in-law. Mike and Kathleen live in Wichita, KS.
