Austin Scheib

Having a lifelong passion for weather and teaching, Austin Scheib has recently moved into his new role as Director of Training/Professional Development in the Winter of 2019. His interest in weather started at a young age, by watching thunderstorms roll into the Sheboygan area while his aunt would babysit him. His passion for weather would continue to grow over the years through the wide plethora of weather the Sheboygan area experiences. In 2014, he got an opportunity to do a independent research project on the Super Outbreak of 2011 and presented his findings to a group of his peers. While earning his BS in Atmospheric Sciences at UW-Milwaukee, he joined the IW team as an intern in May of 2017, becoming an Operational Meteorologist by late August of that year. After graduation in spring 2018 he transitioned to his new role with Innovative Weather as the Assistant Director of Operations which he served as for two years before taking the opportunity to step in as the Director of Training/Professional Development. Austin is currently going back to school to obtain his teaching license and eventually a Master's degree in Education and hopes to teach science related courses and meteorology at the middle school and high school level. Austin's interests outside of weather include football and basketball, as well as coaching sports teams in his free time.
