The Origin

Created By Mac Sinise

Mac was our Assistant Manager of Education & Outreach. He was deeply inspired by the mission and loved being hands-on, leading tours, and even sitting in as drummer for the Lt. Dan Band. In 2024, he passed away from Chordoma, a rare form of cancer. During his cancer battle, he launched the GSF Podcast, producing the first two episodes.
