A Career Observing Nature
Astronomy has been a part of my life since I can remember. Observing the planets and bright deep sky objects from my back yard while growing up, I learned the theories and methods of the oldest of the sciences. My family lived for summer vacations when we would travel to many western National Parks and Monuments. Studying the details of the natural landscape and the night sky, and the processes of their formation, became my principal focus of interest.
