Danny Faulkner was born on September 30, 1954 in Cincinnati, Ohio and grew up in Fairborn, Ohio. He spent much of his adult life in South Carolina, first as a student, and later as a professor at the University of South Carolina Lancaster (USCL), where he taught astronomy and physics. Upon retirement from USCL, Faulkner became the staff astronomer at Answers in Genesis in northern Kentucky (2013). His movie work consists of sharing the wonder of God's creation through astronomy, and Faulkner has published five books on the subject. He enjoys Clemson football, the Cincinnati Reds, Cheerwine, and hiking in Red River Gorge in eastern Kentucky.
