Steve Glazier is excited to join the NBC Connecticut StormTracker team after building his career as a broadcast meteorologist across the country. A Connecticut native, Steve grew up in Stafford, where his fascination with weather began at the age of 7.
He pursued his passion for meteorology at Lyndon State College in Vermont, focusing on broadcasting. After graduating, Steve gained valuable experience as an on-air meteorologist in Virginia, Vermont, Florida, and Colorado. While in Colorado, he led a team of meteorologists at WeatherNation, a national weather network.
Steve enjoys sharing his love for weather, especially during school visits where he can showcase Snow Monster and inspire the next generation of meteorologists. When he’s not forecasting, Steve enjoys outdoor activities like bicycling, hiking, camping, and soaking up the sunshine. He’s also an avid golfer.
A fun fact about Steve? He’s participated in several food-eating contests, taking on challenges with hot dogs, pasta, and even birthday cake!
