Hey there and thanks for clicking in to ABC Columbia today! My name is Reg Taylor and I am the chief Meteorologist here. I’ve been a part of the ABC Columbia family for longer than just about anyone. I figure if you love what you do and you love where you do it…we’ll keep on going! I have been a part of ABC Columbia for nearly 15 years now. I graduated from Western Kentucky University many years ago with a degree in Broadcasting and went back to Indiana State to finish the requirements for the AMS and NWA seals of approval.

I’m Derek James or as some around here call me “D-Jam.” I’m not exactly sure who came up with that nickname or when, but it stuck. I’m the Friday & Saturday Meteorologist here at ABC Columbia News. I’m a member of the National Weather Association currently working to receive their “Seal of Approval.”

I love preparing you for the weather ahead with the information you need and some entertainment without unnecessary hype. I also enjoy building new and exciting graphics to tell you the weather story. I’m a graphics geek; I do a lot of work on the overall look of the graphics you see during the weather segments on ABC Columbia News.
