AstroTour's Newest Astronomer Reese!

We are thrilled to introduce the newest member of the AstroTours.org team, Reese! With a deep-rooted passion for astronomy and an impressive background in astrophysics and education, Reese brings a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to our stargazing experiences.

Reese is a fresh graduate from the University of Colorado Boulder's Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences department, with a major in Astrophysics and a minor in Creative Writing. His journey into the cosmos began early, with countless trips to the mountains that sparked a lifelong fascination with dark skies and the mysteries of space. Never one for skiing Reese instead stayed up late into cold nights admiring his brief time with the milky way. Did you know that the word galaxy comes from the greek galaxias meaning milky vault?

His love for teaching is evident through his diverse experiences. As a learning assistant at CU Boulder, Reese has helped students navigate the wonders of astronomy, guiding them through labs and lectures with patience and passion. His role as a Dark Sky Astronomy in Rocky Mountain National Park further honed his skills, where he collaborated with park rangers and the Northern Colorado Astronomical Society to host public observing nights and interpretive programs for hundreds of park guests.

Reese is really looking forward to spinning a yarn about the sky that will make you reconsider your place barreling through the universe. 

We are incredibly excited to have Reese on board and can’t wait for you to meet him on one of our tours. His blend of scientific expertise and storytelling will undoubtedly make your stargazing experience with AstroTours.org unforgettable.

Join us in welcoming Reese to the team! We look forward to exploring the cosmos together with him.
