New KATV Met's Bio Up at KATV.com

The KATV webteam has posted the bio of new KATV met Todd Yakoubian.

"A Little Rock native, Meteorologist Todd Yakoubian comes home after being away for 13 years.
He is a member and is certified by both the American Meteorological Society and the National Weather Association. He is a 1992 graduate of Little Rock Catholic High. From there, he attended and graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 1996. Todd took his first television job in Missoula, Montana. He says he will never forget his first winter up north, where 111 inches of snow fell. He learned how to snow ski and fly fish.

Todd's most recent job was in Chattanooga, TN. There he was part of the team of meteorologists who won the Tennessee AP award for best weathercast two years in a row. His most memorable weather moments were covering the Veterans Day weekend outbreak of tornadoes in 2002 and the flooding caused by hurricane Ivan in September 2004. But most importantly, he met his wife Andria there. The two were married in April 2003."
