BLAKE NAFTEL

Hello! I’m Blake, a comedy writer, entrepreneur, meteorologist, multimedia artist and producer based in Old Town Chicago, Illinois by way of my hometown of Kalamazoo, Michigan.

I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Geosciences, a blend of geography, meteorology, geographic information systems and remote sensing from Western Michigan University in April 2006.

My life has been a storied mixtape of weather, television news, radio, independent cinema, documentary film production and web design since 1995 working with a variety of local, national and international media networks along the way. Nowadays I’m focused on the comedic side of the atmosphere! :)

Presently I am developing a LIVE episodic “stage to stream” sketch comedy show called THE WEATHER CREW ™ with additional actors and writers in Chicago for Summer 2025.

Thanks for visiting!
