Hello! Thanks for stopping by. I first became interested in space exploration after watching the movie Apollo 13 in 1996. Now I’m lucky enough to write about it for a living.

I’ve covered shuttle launches, met all the Star Trek captains and won a few awards along the way.

You can read my work in SPACE.com, Universe Today, SEN.com, All About Space, EarthSky and many other publications. My stories are also cross-published in Mashable, Yahoo!, MSNBC and Wired.co.uk.
