How I got into Skydiving: I did one tandem with my dad when I was 18, but when I thought about going back for a second on my own, the fun jumper prices were much more enticing on the website than tandems were. Went down the internet rabbit hole and realized you can do this for fun, saved up some money, got my license, and was hooked.
What I like best about 4-way: It’s fast, it’s as competitive as it gets, and the margin for error being practically zero makes for a fun challenge
What I like best about SDC Rhythm XP: I’ve always admired the team for its giveback and support of the skydiving community. I’m a big fan of our analytical approach to body flight, block techniques, and overall training
Favorite moments with the team: Getting ready with the team for rounds 1 & 10 at Nationals 2022 on our home turf at SDC
Outside of Skydiving, one day I hope to: Climb the seven summits, complete an iron man
