License, Ratings, Accomplishments: D-35006, Coach Rating, Tandem Instructor
Fun Fact: Outside of Skydiving: During the week I spend my time as a Project Business Manager for Kiewit Infrastructure, working large construction projects. When I’m not skydiving on the weekends I enjoy my time in the outdoors whether it be hunting, fishing, hiking or boating. I also travel around the U.S. doing Elite Spartan Races throughout the year, and spending some time in the mountains snowboarding in the winter.
Skydiving: Favorite Part: The camaraderie of the sport, I’ve had the opportunity to jump at a lot of dropzones and I continue to meet great people and amazing skydivers. It’s also awesome to help introduce people to skydiving, and get them as excited about the sport as I am.
