astrophysics

I am interested in astronomy, space exploration and planetary science. I am a chartered accountant and am also trained as a counsellor. I am currently studying with the Open University for a degree in Physical Science, focusing on the astrophsyics side. I would love to follow this up with a PHD. In the meantime I am still working as an accountant with a local firm.

I also like cycling, yoga, science fiction, eating out, walking and playing games on facebook.

I am 33, married with a wonderful family, have my degree in Space Systems Engineering Technology and currently work with the Space Shuttle Program as a Systems Engineer in Houston, Texas.  I have recently finished and published a space advocacy book called Turning Point: How Space Exploration and Development Will Determine the Rise or Fall of Humanity, available online via www.lulu.com.  I also manage a blog (http://thespaceadvocate.blogspot.com/) where I pontificate on all things space, or at least the things that jump out at me that I want to talk about.
