Happy Sunday everyone! 🌞 This week, we are starting a new series called CHASER SPOTLIGHT SUNDAYS where we shine a little light on each of our chasers, week by week. We hope you enjoy getting to know them! Our first Chaser Spotlight will be on Clayton Wicker, a very deserving chaser to kick off this series with. Clayton is turning 22 years old in a few weeks (happy early birthday!), and he works full time in Columbia, MS as an EMT. He’s been chasing storms for 4 years now, and he’s spent all 4 of those years with us in SparkService. He’s a dedicated, talented, and treasured part of our team! He enjoys traveling to new places while chasing, and you’ll often catch him snacking on something all the while. Clayton is most proud of catching the Rolling Fork EF4 tornado in 2023, and helping serve the community in the aftermath. Due to his diligence, as well as many others in SparkService, many lives were saved that night. His cool, calm, and collected demeanor serves him well in this way. He has always been interested in weather, but the door opened for him into storm chasing when he met Josh, one of our leaders, at college. The both of them have been chasing ever since! His advice for new chasers is to not rely solely on radar. Know the sky, and what you’re looking for out in front of you. Thank you for chasing with us, Clayton! You’re a star!
