After a highly successful 26 year technical career in electronic engineering and digital systems, being awarded 7 U.S. patents, and leading the U.S. effort to convert analog cable television systems to digital, I moved to Arizona in 2004 to pursue my passions for astronomy. Astrophotography began in earnest for me in 2006 and after a steep and comprehensive learning curve, in 2014 my first images were ready for public display and Dark Sky Images was launched.
My work has been well received and was selected for the “Beauty of Space” exhibit at the National Museum of the United States Air Force, Dayton, Ohio in 2021. My Rho Ophiuchus Nebula image was published by Astronomy Magazine in the special July 2002 edition “50 Greatest Cosmic Scenes Of Our Time.” I have been privileged to be a guest speaker at several universities including the New Mexico State University at Las Cruses and Wichita State University. I also give presentations to local grade schools, community colleges, civic groups, and digital camera clubs.
I hope my images capture the energy, intensity and power of the night sky and will provoke questions, especially from children, so they may gain some insight into awe-inspiring objects, which our eyes cannot grasp, in the star-studded Milky Way and beyond. Currently, my work can be viewed by appointment only at my Residence Gallery, 16580 N 92nd Street Suite 3003, Scottsdale, Arizona. Wishing you Clear Skies!
