Whiz Bang Science Show

Dr. Dave was only 4 years old when man landed on the moon, but that event would have a huge impact on his life that has ultimately led to the Whiz Bang! Science Show. The excitement of watching that moonwalk and seeing all of the scientists in the control room that made it happen inspired him to be a scientist someday.

Dr. Dave grew up in central Illinois and attended the University of Illinois, receiving his Ph.D. in Plant Genetics in 1994. Dr. Dave moved to Ohio to work for the Ohio State University as a soybean geneticist. It is there that he began to perform demonstrations at open houses.
