About

Greg Johnson

Greg Johnson, one of North America’s top professional storm-chasers and severe weather experts, is also an accomplished photographer, speaker, workshop leader and, most recently, author. Having graduated from Canada's renowned Acadia University, and after founding and building a leading successful communications, marketing and advertising firm from the ground up, Greg decided it was time to devote himself full-time to pursuing his passion for capturing nature's most beautiful and deadly displays of severe weather. With more than 10 years of experience, Greg enjoys chasing classic prairie thunder and lightning storms, tornadoes, hurricanes and blizzards, and he plans to continue traveling the world year-round to satisfy his appetite for capturing extreme weather. Using sophisticated weather-tracking technology, his ability to read severe weather patterns and a team of dedicated sidekicks, Greg has put more than 30,000 miles on his Tornado Truck, intercepting and documenting hundreds of storms across the United States and Canada in 2011 alone. Additionally, Greg's skills are now being retained by the outdoor festival industry in order to assist organizers in ensuring their large crowds are kept safe from sudden and severe weather risks. Greg is also well known for his workshops in severe weather photography, his innovative shot-making and creativity in merging time-lapse photography and music to create mesmerizing weather visuals and soundscapes. A firm believer in the "Bucket List" philosophy, Greg's mission is to inspire others to chase their own passions, while sharing and teaching the lessons he has learned from pursuing his. When he's not storm chasing, Greg enjoys life at home in Regina, Saskatchewan spending time with his wife and three children, and of course - cheering for his beloved Saskatchewan Roughriders.
