I
got my first interest in astronomy and space exploration
while growing up with the first manned missions. In
high school, I learned more through science courses
and trips to museums and planetariums. I joined the
US Air Force and had the opportunity to observe pristine
skies (some were hundreds of miles from the nearest
village!) with a trusty set of binoculars. As I traveled
to different countries, my interests changed and I moved
away from astronomy. After retiring from the Air Force,
I started work on my degree and took a course in planetary
geology, which re-ignited my interest in astronomy.
I joined the local astronomy club, purchased a telescope
and dove in head-long. I'm a bit of an equipment geek
and enthusiastically share my love of the skies with
the public. To support my equipment purchases, I'm the
IT Manager for the College of Human Sciences at Texas
Tech University.
