KSN Meteorologist

KSN Weekend Meteorologist Andrew Kozak has known what he wanted to be since he was 3 years old -- a meteorologist. He grew up watching weathermen on TV at his family’s home on Staten Island in New York and dreamed of being on that screen one day. With hard work, dedication and talent, Andrew has made his dream come true.
Andrew joined the KSN WeatherLab in December of 2005, coming to Kansas from the ABC station in Casper, Wyoming. He graduated with a degree in meteorology from the State University of New York, College at Oneonta. Like a baseball loving kid that gets to take batting practice at Yankee Stadium, Andrew’s first hands on experience in TV weather came at WABC in New York City where he was an intern.
Even though he’s a New York transplant, Andrew says he’s fortunate to work in Kansas. Because of the Greensburg tornado, he truly appreciates the opportunity to keep Kansas viewers informed when severe weather approaches.
In addition to his love of weather and meteorology, Andrew has taken an active role in the community. He currently serves on the Board of Trustees for the Young Professionals of Wichita. The YPW works closely with the Wichita Area Chamber of Commerce and Wichita leaders. Its mission is to attract young, upcoming business people to live and work in the Wichita area.
Andrew also serves as a Big Brother for the Big Brothers and Sisters of Sedgwick County, and enjoys speaking with school children about meteorology.
Additionally, he likes to work out, travel, and try the new restaurants that are always popping up around the Wichita area.
