(CBS) Dave Price has been the weather anchor and a feature reporter for CBS News' The Early Show since July 2003.

In addition to in-studio forecasts and reports, Price can be seen entertaining crowds live on the plaza outside the CBS studios.

In 2005, Price received an American Women in Radio and Television Gracie Award for a report in the “My New Life” series, “My New Life: Joan Lovett.” The series focuses on people who have transformed their lives in some way.

In April 2006, Price completed his second trip to Iraq, visiting U.S. troops as part of the Stars for Stripes tour. In 2005, he visited troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Price is also frequently seen broadcasting from cities across the country. Most recently, he traveled across the country on the eight-week “Great American Vacation” summer tour.

Price has also co-hosted the Rose Bowl parade on CBS and the network's coverage of the Thanksgiving parade.

Previously, Price served as the weather anchor for "CBS 2 News This Morning" on WCBS-TV, the CBS-owned station in New York (2003-06). Before that, Price served as the weather anchor/co-host for WNYW-TV/Fox 5 New York (1999-2003). For the last eight months of that period, he was a features reporter for the syndicated program "Good Day Live."

At WNYW-TV, Price played a major role in the station's coverage of the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center, the crash of American Airlines flight 587, and the Iraq war.

In New York, Price was the recipient of two Emmy Awards, for Best Feature Series and Best Host.

On a lighter note, he was one of People magazine's 50 most eligible bachelors in 2001.

Before that, Price was the host of "Good Day Philadelphia," the morning program of Fox's WTXF-TV (1998-99). In addition to anchoring, he provided feature stories and on-site coverage of major news events, which included reporting from the Persian Gulf.

Price's broadcasting career was launched at WSEE-TV in Erie, Pa., a CBS affiliate. He served as the station's morning and noon weathercaster for one year, after spending eight years as a corporate human resources executive.

A successful, life-changing effort to lose 80 pounds and a chance meeting with a small-market television personality led to the career switch.

Price is involved with numerous local and national charity organizations, including New York Cares, the ASPCA, and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
