How I got into Skydiving: I grew up around the sport.  My father is a jumper and we spent many weekends at the dz learning about the sport and loving the people involved. My father took me on my first two tandems and then I started AFF shortly after that.
What I like best about 4-way: All of it, team togetherness, pushing yourself to be better, developing a training plan and executing it, jumping out of airplanes. 
What I like best about SDC Rhythm XP: My teammates involved in the program, everyone has the same attitude to progress the sport and themselves to the next level. We all push each other to be better people and skydivers it is an amazing program to be involved in!
