CHANGING THE TRAJECTORY OF THE GAME
Scientific Weather Analysis
Our engineers create what can be called a "VIRTUAL STADIUM" or a "STADIUM DIGITAL TWIN"
3D WEATHER APPLIED
Real-time effects on a ball during the entire trajectory
Real-time wind, temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, and rain are applied to real time and all potential trajectory data
For the past 7 years, our team of engineers and scientists have thoroughly analyzed the physics of a ball's flight. Over the course of our study, we have worked with dozens of scientists, professors, wind tunnel experts, and even NASA engineers, to ensure a full understanding of the physics of trajectories. Using this knowledge, and supplemented ballistics research, we have created a ground-breaking model, utilizing Computational Fluid Dynamics and 3D modeling to supply real-time weather data and its effect on sports.
Metin Ozen, CEO
Jack is a graduate of Stanford University, with a B.A. in Communications. After playing four years of varsity baseball, he was drafted by the Kansas City Royals, playing two seasons in their minor league system before joining the WAM team. His career in baseball has given him valuable insights into the direct effect weather can have on a sports game. Jack is a longtime avid golfer and is excited to bring WAM's technology into the golf market, and beyond.
Jack Klein, Director of Business Development
Bill Martin, Co-Founder
Bill graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a degree in Physical Geography with an emphasis in Climatology and 3 years postgraduate at San Francisco State studying Atmospheric Science. After San Francisco State, an internship at KRON Television (NBC), in San Francisco led him to become Chief Meteorologist at KFTY(Ind) in Santa Rosa for 2 years.
He later moved to KPIX(CBS) in San Francisco where he was their morning show meteorologist for 2 years, and in 1993 landed at KTVU Bay Area doing weekends. At that time KTVU did not have a weather department, and he was given the opportunity of creating and building KTVU's weather brand from the ground up. Bill became the Chief Meteorologist in 1995. In 2014, after over 25 years forecasting weather in the Bay Area, he was one of 6 meteorologists in the country chosen to go to the White House to interview President Obama on Climate Change. Bill is an EMMY Award winning meteorologist, and is a Certified Broadcast Meteorologist with the American Meteorological Society.
John Farley, CTO
John Farley holds a MS in Meteorology from San Jose State University, where he received the honor of Graduate of the Last Decade from the College of Science in 2001. While in Graduate School, John worked with a team to create mathematical models that forecast the fog at San Francisco International Airport. His team was given the Excellence in Aviation Award from the FAA in 2002.
As a consultant for a Pacific Gas and Electric, his responsibilities included temperature, wind, snow, and severe weather forecasting, as well as modeling long-term electricity generation forecasts for proposed wind farms. For 6 years John was the General Partner for Glacier Point Capital, where he and his team created weather models used to trade commodities.
John is an EMMY Award winning meteorologist, and is a Certified Broadcast Meteorologist with the American Meteorological Society.
Brett Jackson, Director of Operations
Brett is a former Major League Baseball player for the Chicago Cubs and Arizona Diamondbacks. After retiring from baseball in 2015, he has worked in the tech start-up space, most notably for the sports science technology company, Sparta Science, where he worked directly with professional and collegiate sports organizations to predict and prevent injuries and improve performance with Sparta's force plate data analytics. Having played in Wrigley's notorious elements, Brett is excited to apply WAM's game changing insights to sports, aiding in-game play, statistical depth, and the viewer experience.
Doug Sinton, BOD
Doug Sinton has a PhD in Atmospheric Science from UCLA and is an Emeritus Professor at San Jose State University, where he was on the faculty of the Meteorology Department for 20 years. His work at SJSU included developing the San Francisco International Airport Marine Stratus Forecast System which has been in continuous operation since 1995 and which he continues to develop and maintain. He also developed the San Francisco Bay Wind project. Other research interests include the genesis of tropical storms and hurricanes.
