About Me:
I've been in love with the planetarium industry since my early days as a volunteer at the Buhl Planetarium in Pittsburgh, PA. I worked for AVI as a laserist at the Carnegie Science Center, then in production at their Orlando office.

I've done laser programming for several different venues such as: planetariums, cruise ships, television, theme parks, corporate events and parties.

My fascination with space and connection to industry has lead me to the current position where I have been for 3 years now. My experience in production has proved to be a valuable asset, and I plan to carry that skill set forward as I begin to move into the realm of fulldome video.

Our team and administration is in full support the upgrade to fulldome. We are currently in the process of evaluating bids, and look forward to moving ahead. We just celebrated the 5th Anniversary of the Mayborn Planetarium. I had the opportunity to be here when the place opened, and it is great that I'm back. It has been a great 3 years for me, and the new team is really making a difference.
