From a young age, I have always found myself fascinated by outer space and the universe we call home. In the Boy Scouts I continued to learn through star parties. As I advanced through my career, I had the opportunity to travel to Brazil and see the Southern Cross and a new view of the stars above. Having worked at several institutions of higher learning, and organization such as the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, I am constantly gratified when watching students, teachers, parents and others engage in astronomy. My mission at CosmoQuest is to couple my fascination with astronomy/space science and my passion for education by assisting others explore and discover the mysteries of outer space that fascinate them.
