Meet our founder

Davey Harvey

Davey Harvey, a Winnetka resident who grew up on the North Shore, says his love of space started in 4th grade when his teacher, a former employee in the space industry, taught Davey and his classmates all about astronomy and the cosmos, and he felt lucky to have learned much more than the average 9-year-old.

Now, over 30 years later, Davey is looking to inspire and foster the same sense of wonder and wild curiosity in others that his teacher instilled in him so long ago.

Curious Space & Time is proud to be a veteran-owned business.
