Justin Hobbs Career
Justin is no stranger to Southwest Florida, having spent 2021 working in Sarasota just up the coast. Justin’s interest in weather began with a childhood scare. An overnight tornado ripped through his hometown in the early 2000s, coming within nearly 100 yards of Justin’s mobile home. His house may have been spared, but the sounds and fear of that night haunted him for years. Before he went to college to study meteorology, this fear would become a passion in his high school years.
During his senior year of college, he began his first job in television meteorology at a local station in his college town. He went on to become a REALTOR after graduating. Justin left the industry for a short time after 2 1/2 years in Bowling Green to return to Colorado. New opportunities in the television industry, however, brought him to Sarasota in January 2021. He now joins the NBC 2 team at the start of 2022.
Justin enjoys being outside when he is not at work! He enjoys mountain climbing, rock climbing, camping, and storm watching. Because mountains are few and far between in Florida, he has taken up paddle boarding, shark tooth hunting, and hopes to learn to sail.
