Most Memorable Jumps:

  1. Tracking dive over the gulf coast, counting the roads go by below, landing on the beach and drinking free beer at the Flor! iBama all night.
  2. Six freefly tubes, 14 total people head down, Monkey Claw event at CrossKeys, otter pilot later told us that a Continental Pilot on approach to Philadelphia watched the exit and told the passengers about it.
  3. First jump at Nationals this year, I was a nervous wreck, jump was flawless, we had a blast, and took the bronze medal in intermediates.
  4. Hot air balloon jump.
  5. First chopper jump.
  6. Biplane exit upside down.
  7. First night demo, jumping into Waynesboro High School homecoming game, landing on the fifty yard line!

Jump Philosophy:

The only regrets in life are the things you pass up, if something makes you feel alive - go for it, you may only pass that way once!
