Mr. Jeter has taught Astronomy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, since 1994. He was the 2017 Broward County Teacher of the Year and a 2018 ACEAP Ambassador to Chile. Throughout his career Mr. Jeter has had a wide range of experiences that help engage his audiences - from flying in a "Zero-G" aircraft to launching a series of high-altitude balloons into the stratosphere. Mr. Jeter and his colleagues also built "Marjory's Garden" on the campus of MSDHS, which has served as both a catalyst for STEM projects and as a mental health refuge for the students and staff of the school.
He has written Astronomy articles for local publications and is a part-time librarian and public speaker. He has given presentations at conventions, Universities, libraries, and on a cruise ship. He enjoys riding his motorcycle and being an amateur photographer and musician. Mr. Jeter lives in Coral Springs, Florida, and is a father of two.
