When you were a kid, were there any early activities that might indicate you’d one day become a skydiver?
I was always doing something fun, snowboarding, kayaking, and other outdoor sports. But my friends and I were always finding rocks to jump from into a lake.

What was the circumstance that led you to the DZ for the first time to make your very first skydive?
Some friends asked me to go jump with them while they were on vacation in Wilmington. I got to do my first tandem at Coastal Carolinas.

What made you want to continue skydiving after your first jump?
I really had a change in perspective after my first jump and continued to seek that again.

What’s the best / most memorable skydive you’ve ever made?
My first one will always be the best. The movie Iron Man 3 was filming on location that day so we stuck around to see some of the action.

If you could jump with anyone in the world, who would you like to jump with and why?
My uncle Keith. I promised I’d take him once I was an instructor and sadly won’t have that chance.
