Kristopher Boone
Robert Speta provides a high level of professionalism to match his incredible passion for meteorology. In addition to attending training alongside Robert, I witnessed his seamless transition from an Operational Forecaster for the US Navy to a Broadcast Meteorologist with NHK. His ability to excel in drastically different work environments speaks to the quality of work ethics and weather knowledge. I look forward to any opportunity to work with him again.
