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

Tree-climbing, a lot of jumping from bridges and diving boards, and going fast.

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

I did my first jump out of curiosity, just wanting to know what skydiving was like. It hadn’t occurred to me to try it before but, once my brain caught up, I realized how fun it is!

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

The extremeness of jumping out of an airplane pushes you out of your thoughts and into the thrill of the skydive. The excitement, freedom, and elation of being in the sky is incomparable. After my first jump, I quickly found myself wanting to jump all over again so I could try new and different things.
