How many years do you have in the sport?
19

When you were a kid, were there any early activities that might indicate you’d one day become a skydiver?
I started downhill ski racing at a young age as well as competing in freestyle and jumping off large cliffs. I have been interested in extreme sports for as long as I can remember.

What was the circumstance that led you to the DZ for the first time to make your very first skydive?
I have wanted to skydive since I first saw people parachuting off cliffs in ski videos, and I finally made my first tandem jump celebrating a friend’s 18th birthday.

What’s the best / most memorable skydive you’ve ever made?
Bringing my wife on her first skydive.

What advice would you give to someone thinking about jumping for the first time?
Skydiving is supposed to make you nervous, getting out of your comfort zone and overcoming your fears is a very rewarding experience!
