When you were a kid, were there any early activities that might indicate you’d one day become a skydiver?

When I was a kid, we would go to events and watch my dad jump in dressed as Elvis. Who wouldn’t want to jump after seeing that?! 😎

What was the circumstance that led you to make your very first skydive?

I was working in the snack shack at the drop zone, and everyone kept asking, ‘When are you gonna jump?!’ So finally I had to do it, just to get them off my back. 😏

What made you want to continue skydiving after your first jump?

I can stop anytime I want to … I don’t have a problem … 😶

What’s the best/most memorable skydive you’ve ever made, and what made it so remarkable?

Oh man, I could never choose just one. I love being in the sky with so many of my favorite people. Sometimes all at once, sometimes just a nice lil 2 way 🤝

If you have one, what’s your personal motto/philosophy as it relates to skydiving?

“Ready as I’ll ever be!” 🙃

What three words would your colleagues/students use to describe you as a skydiver?

Excited, safe, and (unfortunately) stinky 💨
