"Earning the CBM was a career goal of mine once I saw the program released in 2005. Being recognized by your peers is one of the greatest honors as a broadcaster. I remember it being a challenging process which made it that much more rewarding once I was awarded it in 2008. I always encourage others to pursue the CBM as a way to demonstrate their expertise and to earn a credential that is backed by the world's premier organization in weather, water and climate science."
