“My thermometer making started in college,” said Caskey. “We had to make a thermometer from scratch in a class in college and my professor thought of the whole process and procedure. This isn’t something that comes from a text book. Over years of trial and error my professor developed the thermometer and I just took it from there and got addicted to it and redefined it.”
After spending years in other markets being a meteorologist, Caskey considers KSAT viewers to be simply the best.
"They (KSAT viewers) are way better here than anywhere else," Caskey said. "They embrace you so much. I feel like I was meant to be here. My whole career I've done this and that. I went to D.C. for a while and then I came here and it's awesome."
