Freese-Notis Weather
Freese-Notis Weather, Inc. was founded by Harvey Freese and Charlie Notis on May 1, 1973. Harvey and Charlie had just received their MS degrees in meteorology from Iowa State University and were seeking employment. At the time, both the private and government job market in meteorology looked very grim. Therefore, Charlie and Harvey decided to try and start their own company. The name of the company was a natural for a weather company with their appropriate last names.
