Dr. Lon's Amazing Science Show

Dr. Lon brings the marvels of science out of the textbook and onto the stage using engaging demonstrations and audience interaction to stimulate curiosity that blend fun and learning to captivate and nourish inquisitive young minds. And the fact that the demonstrations are grounded in reality, rather than tricks or gimmicks, gives an added WOW! to the shows.

Dr. Lon's journey into the world of science began in his childhood, sparked by a chemistry set that ignited his curiosity. Growing up in a small town in Oklahoma, he dedicated countless hours to experimenting with chemical concoctions in his family's cellar. As an adult, he held positions as an engineer, a technical manager and association director, after which he. founded a consulting business. And along the way he wrote four books and numerous articles. Today, Dr. Lon enjoys sharing his love of science with people of all ages. And when he's not doing shows or devising new demonstrations for his shows, he enjoys traveling the globe and writing poetry and fictional short stories.
