Growing up in Huntsville, Alabama, near the iconic Marshall Space Flight Center--where NASA developed and tested the Saturn V Moon rocket--sparked Jeff’s lifelong passion for space exploration and astronomy. Inspired by the groundbreaking achievements in spaceflight that unfolded just miles from his home, Jeff pursued a fulfilling career as a family physician, but never lost sight of their astronomical dreams. Now retired, Jeff has channeled his enthusiasm into a vibrant second career as a space outreach specialist. As a certified Solar System Ambassador with JPL/NASA, Jeff has engaged audiences across the southeastern United States through numerous astronomy outreach programs at science museums, scouting events, and star parties. Jeff’s commitment to inspiring the next generation is further exemplified by his role as a certified merit badge counselor for space exploration and astronomy with the Scouts of America. Additionally, Jeff dedicates time to volunteering at a local school library, fostering curiosity and learning among young students. With a deep-seated passion for the cosmos and a dedication to education, Jeff continues to share his love for Astronomy and Spaceflight with communities far and wide, bridging the gap between the wonders of the universe and the excitement of discovery.
