Joe Khalaf is a technology strategist working for a Silicon Valley technology company but based in Houston. When he's not busy trying to figure out what the "next great thing" is from a tech perspective, he is also the president of the Houston Astronomical Society - one of the largest and most active astronomy clubs in the united states with over 850 members. Prior to becoming the president of the Houston Astronomical Society, Joe was the Outreach Chairperson for the club, organizing and hosting hundreds of astronomy outreach events for people in the greater Houston area for over 4 years. These events ranged anywhere from talks for preschool classrooms to doing outreach at large electronic dance music festivals with over 60,000 people in attendance. Last year, Joe became a NASA Solar System Ambassador, which allows him to share the stores of NASA's exploration and accomplishments widely. But what joe is most proud of is that he was the recipient of the 2017 Omega Centauri Award, given at the Texas Star Party for his efforts in astronomy education and outreach.
