Maxwell is a high school science teacher from Norman, Oklahoma. He is passionate about serving the underserved in his community. He wants to bring the joy of scientific exploration to as many children as possible - especially those in poverty or with intellectual or physical disabilities. He has always loved science. He started college hoping to become an astrophysicist or mechanical engineer. However, after a few years he realized that he could have a much larger impact on his community by becoming an ambassador for science - a teacher. Becoming a Solar System Ambassador seems like a natural choice. He wants to introduce as many children as possible to the wonders of space exploration, engineering and technology. While he might never go to space, he wants to lead at least one child up to the sky.
