When you were a kid, were there any early activities that might indicate you’d one day become a skydiver?
I used to jump off the second-floor deck holding onto a sheet like I saw in the cartoons.

What was the circumstance that led you to the DZ for the first time to make your very first skydive?
When I was 19 my dad had a friend at his work that was a skydiver. He talked my dad into going to the local DZ to make a jump and my dad asked If I wanted to go too. Of course, I said yes and now here I am.

What made you want to continue skydiving after your first jump?
There is just nothing else that is as much fun as jumping and being at the DZ.

What’s the best / most memorable skydive you’ve ever made?
Got to jump into a friend’s yard for his college graduation party. Any demo jump, really.

If you could jump with anyone in the world, who would you like to jump with and why?
Gonna have to be Superman. He could just fly you right back up after every jump without the need for a plane.

What advice would you give to someone thinking about jumping for the first time?
Do not wait!! Do it now!!!
