Leif's TV Debut


Leif is one of many knowledgeable and talented amateur astronomers in our local club ‘Astronomy Society of Kansas City’.

A dear friend and the one who has taught me so much about astronomy.

Over the years...
He has been a psychiatric case worker.
He has taught college English.
Had his own radio show.
Has been a newspaper columnist.
He has a Masters in English

He has a Bachelors in Psychology.
He's now in the process of getting his Bachelors in Physics with an emphasis in Astronomy/Cosmology.
He's a member of multiple clubs (2 astronomy clubs, ham radio, rocket club, etc.).
He volunteers in various ways (schools, museums, etc.) to educate the public in astronomy
...and I could go on.

It's funny. He doesn't think he's accomplished all that much.

Now he’s following one of his greatest passions - astronomy.
It’s a very cool thing to follow your dream.
