A small bit about me...

A Brief History

I was born and raised in the Midwest, specifically in Indiana. At the age of 19, I decided to move to Chicago to pursue my dreams. It was there that I started my career in the world of skydiving in early 2016, at iFly Naperville.

I spent about 2 years at iFly Naperville, and during that time, I got completely hooked on flying. I wanted to experience the real thing, so I obtained my A-License at Skydive Chicago.

After that, I moved to California to help open iFly Oceanside. I spent another 2 years there, continuing to progress both in the tunnel and in the sky. I found that skydiving was like magic to me, and I wanted to experience more of it. That's why I worked full time as a videographer at GoJump Oceanside for over a year.

After working at GoJump Oceanside, I missed the tunnel life and moved to Mission Valley, where I worked full-time for about two years. During my time there, I earned my Accelerated Free Fall Instructor rating. Soon after, I left Mission Valley to pursue more opportunities in the sky and started working at Skydive San Diego.

Now, I live the full-time skydiving life, and I spend my time split between working on military skydiving contracts and coaching both indoor and outdoor skydiving.

Highlights

As a skydiving coach, I strongly believe in the concept of being a lifelong learner. Despite having spent years mastering my skills, I'm constantly reminded of how much more there is to discover. Assisting others on their journey is my passion, and I'm committed to helping you accelerate your progress in skydiving.

Experience

I have gained my experience and knowledge by working with some amazing people at many locations. I've worked at a total of 9 tunnels and 4 drop zones.

Philosophy

Train your mind and body to move in unison, with fluidity and speed. Be like water, adapt and flow with your surroundings. Fall into your full potential.
