When you were a kid, were there any early activities that might indicate you’d one day become a skydiver?
Nothing really, I was always just a weird artsy kid. I started working at Start and they welcomed me with open arms, and that’s why I’m becoming a skydiver!
What was the circumstance that led you to make your very first skydive?
My pops had always wanted to. One year for Christmas I bought us both tandems and never looked back.
What made you want to continue skydiving after your first jump?
The thrill and experience of learning something brand new!
What’s the best/most memorable skydive you’ve ever made, and what made it so remarkable?
It was actually just yesterday! I’ve been terrified to do hop ‘n pops (being how I’m still on student status) and my best bud went up in the plane with me to show me how it’s done.
What three words would your colleagues/students use to describe you as a skydiver?
Newbie. Nervous Nelly.
Word of Encouragement for First-Time Jumpers:
Just do it, go live your life. We only get one.
