Justin Stapleton joined KEZI 9 News as Chief Meteorologist in March of 2009. He arrived in Western Oregon from WCBI-TV, in Columbus, Mississippi where he was the morning meteorologist. Justin holds a Master's degree in Geosciences from Mississippi State University where he was a co-author on a published study on the relationship between weather and mental health.

Justin is originally from Beavercreek, Ohio. He attended Miami University in Ohio receiving a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. Justin also received a Master's in Clinical Psychology and, previous to working as a weatherman, was part of a crisis-intervention team with the Baltimore Police Department in Maryland.

Justin realized his true passion is weather and helping others, thus his calling to Broadcast Meteorology. Justin, his wife and two little girls are thrilled to call beautiful Western Oregon home. Feel free to contact Justin with a weather question, or just to say hi.
