About
Intro
I’m Ben Holcomb and I was born and spent my childhood in Lansing, Michigan. In my mid 20s, I moved across the country to Norman, Oklahoma where I currently reside. I’ve worked in the IT industry for nearly 2 decades and enjoy weather and traveling.
Travel
Travel is a favorite activity of mine, as I love to explore. I’ve visited all 50 states, 19 countries and more than 40 National Parks. Outside of National Parks, I have travelled to other states for concerts, roller coasters, and sporting events.
Storm Chasing
I have a passion for chasing weather, specifically severe weather and tornadoes. At a young age I found myself fascinated with weather. Eventually I obtained my amateur radio license in 2005 and became involved with Skywarn. A couple of years later on October 18, 2007 I would go on what I consider my first storm chase. Since then I have witnessed approximately 225 tornadoes and traveled well over 200,000 miles and have appeared on most national news outlets at one time or another. I have a lot more in depth bio on my storm chasing “career” on the Storm Chasing subsection of my page.
Concerts
I also like going to rock concerts, and seeing live music in general. I have seen over 175 bands live. My favorite and most notable concert is the final show of Black Sabbath in England in 2017.

Roller Coasters
I’ve always been an adrenaline junkie, and love riding roller coasters. I have ridden over 150 different roller coasters. My favorite is Skyrush at Hersheypark.
