Early life
Neihouse was born in Paris, Arkansas, the only child of Joseph and Pauline Neihouse. He graduated from Paris High School in 1973 and received his bachelor's degree from Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara, California in 1976.
He went on to work for Marine Photographic Associates (MPA), a Santa Barbara, CA based production company that specialized in underwater photography and filmmaking. It was during this time that he met Graeme Ferguson, the president and co-inventor of the IMAX film format, while working on the first underwater IMAX film OCEAN. The two became friends and under Ferguson's mentorship Neihouse continued working in the IMAX format.
His first credit as director of photography was on the first IMAX film to be nominated for an Academy Award - The Eruption of Mount St. Helens! which was nominated for Best Documentary Short in 1980.
Between 1982 and 1984 Neihouse worked as a news cameraman at the Santa Barbara, CA ABC affiliate KEYT.
In 1984 Neihouse was called to the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) to help film shuttle launches for Graeme Ferguson's documentary about the US space shuttle program The Dream Is Alive. It was during filming that Neihouse met his future wife, Miss Leslie Vock, a NASA public affairs specialist at KSC. They were married in 1985 and Neihouse moved from Santa Barbara, to Cocoa, FL.
He became astronaut training manager for the IMAX Space Team in 1988. He was responsible for training space shuttle crews, and later space station crews, on the use and operation of the IMAX film cameras. Neihouse has trained more than 130 NASA astronauts and 20 Russian cosmonauts on 20 space shuttle flights and 6 Space Station Expeditions to film in space aboard the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station. He also oversees and assists in IMAX hardware integration into the NASA space flight system.
Neihouse has two children - Joseph Graeme Neihouse and Jacob Bernhard Neihouse.
