Brandon Copic - Executive Director & Founder  Email Brandon
At an early age Brandon was interested in weather after experiencing an F1 in Temperance, Michigan in 1997 his interest in weather skyrocketed, as well as his fear of nighttime storms. That fear became an intense curiosity and Brandon begin studying meteorology early on in life to educate himself on the science behind the storms in order to get over his fear. In 2010 Brandon started pursuing his fear passionately through storm chasing. Brandon has built a strong relationship with national networks such as The Weather Channel, Good Morning America, CBS This Morning, etc through his work in the field. Brandon has covered, and responded to multiple violent weather events such as Category 4 Hurricane Laura ('20), El Reno, OK Tornado ('13), Lee County, AL EF-4 ('19), and the Chapman, KS EF-4 ('16) just to name a few. After covering the devastating Category 4 Hurricane Laura in Lake Charles, LA Brandon did search and rescue for a few hours afterwards, and had to reluctantly leave the area to return home to work at his full time job. After this experience he decided he wanted to pursue his passion of helping others full-time and thus the ChaserWx Storm Response Team was born by combining his passion for storm tracking and helping others by creating a RAPID Storm Response Team to help areas impacted by natural disasters within minutes to hours of a natural disaster occurring.  When not at work Brandon loves nothing more than to relax with his loving fiance Valerie, and their 1 year old son, Cooper.
