What was the circumstance that led you to the DZ for the first time to make your very first skydive?
.I had heard that it was the best place in the world to become a better skydiver.
I heard correct.?
What made you want to continue skydiving after your first jump?
Love at First Flight. This is what I had been missing my entire life. ?
What’s the best / most memorable skydive you’ve ever made?
I can’t pick one so I have 3…
1. Shaving Mike Sharkey’s beard @9,000′ on a Mr. Bill jump. AKA Mr. Beard?
2. Taking a tandem student through a circular rainbow. I mean, WOW?
3. First-flighting Nick Cerminaro in a wingsuit, when I had him as a student earlier in the season. He already had 200 jumps by august!✈
What is most gratifying about your work at Skydive City?
I’ve had several people who I taught that went on to become pretty awesome flyers. I remember their first time. Giving that Joy to someone feels pretty awesome to me.❤
