When you were a kid, were there any early activities that might indicate you’d one day become a skydiver?
I was a very active kid, played many sports and outside most of the time. I was rebellious and always looking for new adventures. It was never something I could have seen myself doing before I was introduced to the skydiving world at 14.

What was the circumstance that led you to the DZ for the first time to make your very first skydive?
Skydiving was always on my bucket list, my dad joined this sport nearly 5 years ago, and I was about 15 when I was offered a job as manifest. Being around this sport for so many years persuaded me to take the leap and go for it.

What made you want to continue skydiving after your first jump?
I have never felt more free or alive in my entire life. I just knew the moment I got out of that plane my life was forever changed.

What’s the best / most memorable skydive you’ve ever made?
My very first jump, after years of waiting and anticipation for the day I turned 18 and could officially take the leap. My free fall was unlike any other, I had the best team who followed me out the door, and coming down and seeing all of my family and coworkers support and joy, I knew I had found my passion.

If you could jump with anyone in the world, who would you like to jump with and why?
My dad, he introduced me into this new world of skydiving, I haven’t had the chance to jump with him but I know the first jump we make together will be the most memorable moment of my entire life.

What advice would you give to someone thinking about jumping for the first time?
Just do it! There are no words to describe the feeling of your very first skydive.
