DOKTOR KABOOM
David Epley

'Doktor Kaboom' is the creation of actor/comedian David Epley. Originally from Charlotte, NC, Epley first explored his passion for science in a lab he built in his parents’ basement. He just had to clean the basement first. (Clever parents!) This love of hands-on learning grew, and he eventually went on to study chemistry and physics in a specialized high school, the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. The first of its kind in the nation, NCSSM is a residential school with such luxuries at the time as PhD professors, its own electron microscope, and a Minivac mainframe with campuswide internet, before the internet. From there, Epley continued his studies at the University level, exploring a degree in Chemical Engineering. Along the way, however, he found a second passion—performing—and by joining the two David has created the most fulfi lling work of his life. Over the last 16 years as Doktor Kaboom, he has performed more than 2,000 live shows to a cumulative audience of over 2,000,000 students and families, worldwide. David believes in service, is a veteran of the US Army, and for 5 years served his community as a fi refi ghter and EMT. Home is now Seattle, Washington, with his magnificent wife, Annie. Occasionally, they even hear from their two amazing daughters.
