My eyes have always been pulled upward. I majored in Physics at Michigan State University, where a few astronomy courses permanently tilted my world toward the stars. About fifteen years ago I started photographing the Moon. The images were decent—but I knew there was more hiding in the dark.

That curiosity spiraled into a full-scale obsession. I wanted to see more, to understand more, and eventually to help others do the same. Building my first astrophotography rig taught me how fragmented the astronomy world can feel: hundreds of parts from scattered suppliers, endless pieces of software, and very few clear guides showing how everything fits together.

Snowflake Skies grew out of that experience. It’s designed to make astronomy and astrophotography accessible—to remove the confusion, connect the components, and help more people capture their own light from the universe.

This site is just the first phase of a larger vision that includes an astronomy farm, a dedicated facility where enthusiasts and students can experience the night sky through professional-grade equipment. My goal is simple: to revolutionize amateur astronomy and inspire the next generation so this field continues to flourish for decades to come.
