David Koeller
MeteorologistDavid Koeller is a meteorologist for 糖心vlog Storm Team 8. David joined 糖心vlog in November 2024 as a weekend meteorologist.
Weather has been David's passion from age 5 when he witnessed a tornado touch down not far from his home in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Since then, he has been fascinated with forecasting, weather patterns, extreme weather, and understanding why it all happens.
David didn't always want to be on TV. As a high school student, he wanted to work for the National Weather Service. In college, he realized he liked to talk about the weather a little too much, and the best way to use that was to move on to TV. He said he never gets tired of people asking about the forecast.
After living in Colorado, David grew up in the Kansas City area and graduated from Shawnee Mission Northwest High School. He attended St. Louis University beginning in 2008 where he ran the student television station and served as their meteorologist. While at SLU, David interned at Fox 2 and then KMBC 9 in Kansas City. He graduated in May of 2012 and moved to Springfield, Missouri, a few months later to serve as the chief meteorologist for FOX 5 until September of 2018. His next stop was in Omaha, where he stayed until 2024.
In his spare time, David enjoys biking and running, spending time outdoors, and swimming as well as occasionally binge-watching TV shows.
David enjoys the challenging forecasts that the Midwest always provides for meteorologists with the wide range of extremes from summer to winter. He is looking forward to bringing an accurate forecast to central Iowa and exploring a new state!
