When you were a kid, were there any early activities that might indicate you’d one day become a skydiver?
Growing up in Florida I was constantly free diving. It never felt like an extreme sport because I grew up next to the ocean, but there are a lot of similarities to skydiving. You have to stay calm!!
What was the circumstance that led you to the DZ for the first time to make your very first skydive?
I was working at a food truck near a dropzone in Florida. Something about the smell of burning jet fuel pulls you in.
What made you want to continue skydiving after your first jump?
The amazing people at the dropzone!
What’s the best / most memorable skydive you’ve ever made?
I love every exit! One of my most memorable skydives was after a fun tandem with one of my besties Dylan and watching Dylan have to land at a farm near by while I cruised back to our intended landing area.
What advice would you give to someone thinking about jumping for the first time?
Take a deep breath and send it!
What keeps you coming back to SNE year after year?
