Upon graduation he accepted a position at Griffith Observatory, Los Angeles under Dr. E.C. Krupp and Mr. John Mosley in the museum’s operations, planetarium programs, and outreach programs as the lead operator of The Traveling Telescope. In 1990, David became the Planetarium Director/Community Services Instructor at The Daniel B. Milliken Planetarium at Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga. In 1993, David established his own traveling astronomy program under a private label that school children coined for him (“Astronomy Man”) with the slogan: “Astronomy Man – bringing the science of astronomy down to Earth.”   \nDavid is the author of numerous planetarium show scripts, has been a guest speaker on various local radio programs, and was the featured guest on ABC channel 7 Eyewitness News 1990 “Reopening of the Milliken Planetarium”. In 2022, he discovered a 118-gram meteorite sample in Alabama which is most likely a portion of the larger “Walker County” 74.8-kg sample of 1832 and is one of only eighteen approved meteorites discovered in Alabama. He resides with his wife LaRee. \n \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n											\n									\n											\n							\n						\n														\n			\n					\n				\n					\n						\n							\n						\n					\n				\n				\n																		\n															\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\nDark Skies Badge Sticker\n\n\n\n\n					$4.99\n				\n\n\n\nIn stock\n\n	\n	\n		\n		\n		Dark Skies Badge Sticker quantity\n	\n	\n\n		Add to cart\n\n			\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\n				SKU:\n				110562\n				\n			\n\nCategory: Gifts & Accessories, New\n\nTags: Sticker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n		\n			\n														\n													\n											\n														\n													\n											\n							\n		\n		\n\n			\n											\n									\n											\n									\n											\n							\n						\n											\n			\n				\n					\n				\n			\n			\n				\n					\n				\n			\n		\n						\n			\n					\n				\n					\n						\n							\n						\n					\n				\n				\n																		\n																								\n															\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\nFalcon Guide to Night Sky\n\n\n\n\n					$8.95\n				\n\n\n\nIn stock\n\n	\n	\n		\n		\n		Falcon Guide to Night Sky quantity\n	\n	\n\n		Add to cart\n\n			\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\n				SKU:\n				31123\n				\n			\n\nCategory: Books, Guides, Maps\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
