He worked for NOAA research laboratories in Norman, Oklahoma; Boulder, Colorado; Coral Gables, Florida; and Silver Spring, Maryland, and is currently a consultant to Vaisala in Tucson.

He participated in meteorological field programs in the USA, Caribbean, and West Africa. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in meteorology from Florida State University and took additional coursework at the University of Miami. Since 2002, Mr. Holle has been on scientific organizing committees for the International Lightning Detection Conferences and International Lightning Meteorology Conferences in Tucson, Helsinki, Orlando, Broomfield, San Diego, and Fort Lauderdale.
