The name Gregory is synonymous with weather in Indianapolis. Kevin Gregory's father, Bob, has worked for three decades at WTHR. Gregory admits that he learned a lot growing up by going to work with his father and observing his easygoing style and commitment to the community.

When Gregory is not forecasting the weather for RTV6, he is often in the community teaching the next generation about the weather. He has visited hundreds of elementary schools over the last 18 years and now hosts Kevin's Weather Camp each July. Each December, Gregory leads the RTV6 Toy Drive to help families in need during the holiday season.

His weathercasts carry seals of approval from both the American Meteorological Society and the National Weather Association.

Gregory joined RTV6 in August 1989. He also worked at WCIA-TV in Champaign, Ill., and at WLFI-TV in Lafayette, Ind.

Gregory is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Purdue University, where he earned a degree in telecommunications.

In 1987, he was awarded the Big Ten Medal of Honor from Purdue University. The award is given to the top male and female student athlete at each Big Ten school. Gregory was an All Big Ten tennis player while a student at Purdue.

He also is a graduate of the Mississippi State broadcast meteorology program.

Gregory lives in Avon with his wife Susan and children Matt and Annie.
