Meteorologist David Stradling has lived in Rapid City, South Dakota for nearly four years now. He started out as the weekend meteorologist at KOTA Territory News in December 2104 and left in November 2016 for another job opportunity. He returned in February 2019 when another position opened up at the station as the evening meteorologist at KEVN Black Hills FOX.
David has many passions, but weather and the outdoors are his top two. If he is not at work, you will likely find him out hiking the many trails in the Black Hills before work or over the weekend. David has a passion for storm chasing and photography. He also enjoys cooking, listening to music and going to concerts.
