Dennis Bauer He
stood on top of Mt. Rainier in 60-mile an hour winds the day before his high
school graduation. He sailed Puget Sound in an electrical storm. He ran out of fuel while piloting a small plane 6,000 feet above northern Colorado. Other than that, he's a pretty normal guy. Except for his extraordinary passion to make a dent in the world by talking to people about how they can make a dent in the world.

Meteorologist Rick Dickert
Rick Dickert studied meteorology at San Jose State University and UCLA. He was elected a full member of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) in 1994 and is recognized as a meteorologist by the organization. Dickert also earned a degree in geography. In 2002, he was awarded the Television Seal of Approval by the AMS. In May of 2005, Rick was the first weathercaster in Los Angeles to be awarded the prestigious Certified Broadcast Meteorologist seal by the AMS. The seal is sought as a mark of distinction and a recognition of the achievement in the communication of scientific information. The AMS grants the CBM designation to broadcast meteorologists who meet established criteria for scientific competence and effective communication skills in their weather presentations. The CBM is a new program, launched in January 2005 as an upgrade to the Society’s Seal of Approval.
