After 3 years in Utah, Roland took a job with KGTV in San Diego and was then offered the Chief Meteorologist position at WSVN in Miami. He was then hired by WTVJ in Miami. After 12 years of hurricanes, Roland was offered a job at KUTV in Salt Lake City and now he is the Chief Meteorologist for ABC 4.
