ASTRŌ/JƏRM

I am passionate about the night sky and how it connects us. The kids I meet on school visits inspire me.  I hope to be a positive influence on people I meet and readers. I love science (astronomy, physics, geology, etc.) in everyday encounters. I endeavor to share observations from my travels around the world chasing eclipses. My night job is being the dark sky coordinator at Cedar Breaks National Monument. On other nights, I work as the head astronomy guide at Stargazing Zion.  I am currently enrolled in the Master of Science (Astronomy) program at the Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing at Swinburne University, Australia. I am a member of the American Astronomical Society, the St George Astronomy Group, the Amateur Astronomers Association New York, the Astronomische Gesellschaft, and the American Association of Variable Star Observers.
