Biographical Information:

 

 
Photo of AmbassadorI grew up watching with fascination every launch in the race to space in the '50s, the ensuing manned space flights, and the Apollo missions. After moving to my current position as a high school science teacher I found myself getting to share my enthusiasm for space exploration with earth science and biology students. I instituted an astronomy program, including an astronomy club, biweekly star parties, astronomy classes, and a summer astronomy program for our community.

The curiosity and enthusiasm of our young people as they explore the realms of our universe is inspiring. I encourage the students to be lifelong amateur astronomers and gently nudge those with particularly intense interest toward studies and careers in space science. My greatest satisfaction comes from knowing I've opened their eyes to a vast world they can enjoy the rest of their lives.
