Wednesday, 27 January 2010
Simon Gear grew up the son of a geography teacher and so spent his early years immersed in a constant stream of environmental information. After matriculating from St Stithian’s College he studied Geography and English at Wits, completing an honours in climatology in 1998.
Simon is a senior broadcasting meteorologist with the SABC where he has provided weather production and presentation services to all of the SABC’s domestic and international TV channels since 1999. He does the weather for the John Robbie show on Talk Radio 702 and Aiden Thomas on 567 Cape Talk. He is also the environmental correspondent for Primedia Broadcasting which encompasses 702 and 567 as well as KFM in Cape Town and 94.7 in Johannesburg. He runs his own environmental consultancy, SDG Consulting.
Simon is an accomplished writer. You can currently read him in his monthly columns in Runners World SA and in Khuluma, the Kulula.com in-flight mag. His first book, Going Green contains simple environmental advice for day to day living.
