Kyle Denny
Hello! My name is Kyle and I am the community manager at High Point Scientific. I am a current graduate student at the Florida Institute of Technology and hold a bachelors degree in Physics with a minor in Astronomy. Before working for High Point Scientific, I was a planetarium educator. Inspiring those to look up at the night sky is one of my greatest passions. My interests include astronomy education, human spaceflight, and astrophotography!
