Talks to Inspire your Audience
My many years of experience producing and presenting planetarium shows for all ages serves me well in delivering exciting and inspiring talks about the wonders of the sky. All my talks are richly illustrated with images and videos, often my own.
While I have a number of talks "on file," I always adapt these to suit each audience and occasion. I've presented talks…
• to groups in National Parks (both outdoor sky tours and indoor talks)
• to cruise ship audiences on eclipse cruises and other specialty-themed cruises such as aurora chasing
• to star parties and astronomy conferences, with general interest & technical "how-to" talks
• to corporations, clubs, and organizations looking for inspiring enrichment programs
I have years of experience delivering public outreach programs, and can present a live "laser-guided" star tour and telescope viewing session under the night sky, in a program customized for your group or special event.
