Evangelist
for Space Exploration
So what's this all about?
As you cruise through these pages you'll learn a
little about me and a little about some other
interesting things along the way. My own passion
lies in all things space including manned and
unmanned exploration, rocketry,  aviation
and astronomy. I am currently working on
several space-themed initiatives that I hope to
provide more general information on soon.
Check the “Projects” page for the
latest updates.
In my spare time I write for my blog titled “The Conquest
of Space”. There you will find my thoughts
on topics related to the past and future of space
exploration. In any given year I might write
12-15 in-depth articles and would love to write
more, but each blog takes time to develop. I
cover a wide range of topics and they are
informative for both the space aficionado and the
novice. Visit my YouTube
Channel
for a vast collection of historic NASA
documentaries.
 Photography is one of my
many interests. Capturing moments and places in
time are important and my camera is always close
at hand. You can find a large amount of my
aviation and space photos posted on my Flickr
page. I have photographed many launches at the
Kennedy Space Center including the Space Shuttle
launch of STS-120 from the NASA VIP area, the
Space Shuttle launches of STS-117, STS-129, and
STS-135, the final flight of the Space Shuttle
program STS-135 from the NASA causeway. I had the
privilege to watch the landing of the Space
Shuttle Endeavour on STS-118 and Space Shuttle
Discovery on STS-133 as a guest of NASA at the
Shuttle Landing Facility (Kennedy Space Center,
Florida). Click on the Space Shuttle logo in the
left nav to see the launch and landing pictures I
have taken. I am also an alumnus of two
NASA Tweetups, STS-125 at NASA HQ in July, 2009
and the NASA
Juno launch
at the Kennedy Space Center in August, 2011. I am
headed to the first German Aerospace/European
Space Agency Tweetup in Cologne, Germany in
September.
A few sites are deserving of special mention.
Included on this are site are photos and history
of Launch Complex 34 / Pad-34 (site of the Apollo 1
tragedy), the Lunar Modules that were built and never
flew, the Enterprise, America's First
Space Shuttle, and Launch Complex 5 site of the launch of Alan
Shepard and Freedom 7 that put America's first
man in space.
As for the rest, in my normal life I work for
Wells Fargo in Charlotte, North Carolina as an
eBusiness leader. You'll also find a few of my
other interests on this site like photography,
science fiction and history, my Z cars, and I've
tossed in a lengthy page of links to all of my
favorite sites.
