Freddie Bryant is a storm chaser out of Fort Collins, Colorado. He has documented dozens of tornadoes across Tornado Alley. Intercepted Hurricane Laura and Hurricane Ian twice. I have witnessed massive wild fires, blizzards, and wind storms. He started storm chasing 4 years ago out of boredom but has a passion for severe weather. He has 3 dogs and 3 cats, you almost always will see his dog "Radar" chasing storms with me.
I am also a huge aviation fan so you can catch me a multiple different airshows a year or just plane spotting on the side of the road a municipal airport. I love all things aviation!
Abraham Sandy was born and raised in Dayton, OH, and still loved there during the 2019 Memorial Day Tornado Outbreak where he helped with debris clean up. Abraham has many passions, but weather has always been a major one. He moved to Sterling, Colorado in 2021 to follow his dreams of working in natural resources. Abraham is also a member of the Amature Radio Emergency Service (ARES). His armature radio call sign is KF0MLS and says that if you have your license, feel free to talk to him on the air. Abraham started storms chasing in 2023, and on his first ever chase, he saw 3 tornados. Abraham hopes that his work can keep people safe during severe weather.

Hey, you guys my name is Austin Gordon I’m 30 years old and I live in sterling co with 4 amazing kids and my amazing fiancée. I currently work in the oilfield, but I have a passion for being there and helping others when it is needed. I’m starting my interest in storm chasing because I’m amazed on how it works out and how beautiful the sky can be and how powerful they can get. I am still new at it and eager to learn alongside some amazing guys here at the Big Dawg Team.
I grew up poor but not a bad life. In my teens. I made bad choices that led me to have to go to job corps to learn trades. I left and had 2 kids and after that shebang, I met Sarah who grew up in the projects, raised both brothers and continually stayed with God her whole life. She has a strong will and does a 100 percent or it's not good enough. She's an amazing mother of 2 which aren't even hers. She's attending school for nursing, Works daily, takes care of anyone and is amazing at basically everything.
We love weather because it's something we share as a passion together. Because of Sarah, my whole life has changed!
We now have a third child, and I opened a remodeling company and moved to Sterling by accident after finding it during a chase.
I try to dedicate my life to helping others and taking care of those who need it because I took so much when I was younger. Now we both work raise kids take care of family and try to squeeze time for chasing in the mix.
When we chase as husband and wife there's a resounding peace in my heart that I don't find anywhere else. I don't know why it's like that, but I don't want it to change.
My wife's 27 and I am 32. Our kids are 4, 10, and 11
