I am an astrophotographer and astronomy hobbyist based in Wasilla, Alaska. Growing up on the east coast of Florida, I was always fascinated with NASA’s Space Shuttle program and all things space.

Due to the unique seasonal conditions of Alaska, I focus primarily on hydrogen alpha solar photography in the summer months when the skies don’t darken and transition to DSO during the long, dark winter months when the sun doesn’t rise much above the horizon.

I enjoy all the technical aspects and challenges astrophotography presents and in my opinion, make the final results that much more rewarding.

I also find sharing my passion for things beyond our planet and encouraging others to look up to be equally rewarding.

For me, Spectrum Optics bridges the gap between astrophotography and visual astronomy perfectly, making the night sky easily accessible to everyone!
