Alisa Beaubien is the Asst. Coordinator of
Alachua County SKYWARN. Alisa
joined forces with ACS back in 2001 when she took her first spotter training
class. Alisa attended the University of Florida where she dual-majored in both
Mathematics and Environmental Engineering, graduating magna cum laude
with BS degrees in both in December of 2003. During her attendance at U/F,
Alisa also founded and was President of the first U/F chapter of the American
Meteorological Society. Alisa also has experience in severe local storms
forecasting, and in working with and interpreting WSR-88D doppler RADAR imaging.
She has three years experience in storms chasing in the midwest - from 2001 to
2003. In 2002, and again in May of 2003, Alisa had the opportunity to chase
with the famed O.U. Doppler On Wheels team under the guidance of Dr.
Joshua Wurman. After graduating the University of Florida, Alisa went on to
join the United States NAVY. In November of 2004, she graduated Naval
Officer Candidate School at Pensacola NAS. Now a 'SeaBee' in the
Civil Engineering Corps, Alisa serves at the rank of Lieutenent. Alisa also
plays classical guitar, and enjoys tennis, archery, volleyball, kickboxing,
surfing and fine arts. Alisa's greatest desire is to teach.
Todd Sherman is the
Coordinator of Alachua County SKYWARN,
which he founded back in August of 1996 (ten years ago as of 2006). He is
also the Project Manager and Coordinator of the
Alachua County EMWIN Project
(created in 2002), which serves free weather bulletins to the general public
via email, FAX, pager, and cellphone. It also serves to some web pages, and
even allows for the ability for users to connect directly to the AC-EMWIN
server to watch bulletins come in live and be painted on a map using
special software. Todd obtained his first
ham radio license back in 1985 as a Novice Class - obtaining the callsign
KB4MHH (which callsign he still uses, today). A year later, he obtained his
General class license. In 1986, under the encouragement and guidance of
Elmer/Mentor Earl Jones/NF4O, and along with two other fellow hams, Todd was
co-founder of the original Alachua County Amateur Radio Emergency
Service (ACARES), serving as Asst. Emergency Coordinator (AEC).
Over the years Todd has served such ARRL positions as Official
Relay Station and Official Bulletin Station. Proficient in 25wpm
code, and an avid traffic handler, Todd was also involved in the National
Traffic System, participating in many traffic handling nets (often as NCS)
such as the QFN, QFNS (QFN-Slow), the Fla. Medium Speed Net (FMSN), Regional
Nets 4 and 5 in phone and CW, and various other Florida phone nets. Todd was a
member of the Gainesville Amateur Radio Society from 1985 to 2005, and
served as their Secretary and Newsletter Editor and Publisher in 1987.
Todd also worked closely as an associate member
of the Gator Amateur Radio Club for many years involved with various
amateur radio-related projects. In the past ten years, he was approached
twice by Chris Knauer, the original owner and webmaster of the National
SKYWARN Homepage, and asked if he would take over most of the operation of
the server and website, but turned it down because it would require just too
much additional time. Todd is also owner and/or webmaster of a number of
popular web pages, including
Mobile Scanner &
RADAR-Detector Laws In The United States, the
North Central Florida Area
Scannist's Pages, the
Index To SKYWARN
Sites Across The U.S., the Alachua
County SKYWARN web site, and the
Alachua County EMWIN Project web site. Involved in many radio-related
public service events in the meantime, Todd's main love has always been storm
spotting and the SKYWARN program.
