Biography

I started skydiving in July of 1999. It started off as a static line jump with a few friends, but after a few weekends of bad weather they chickened out and dad stepped up. I bought it for him as a father/son birthday adventure. We made our first 200+ jumps together. In 2003 I lost my dad to the sport. The week following the accident held a tough decision, whether I would continue skydiving or not. I realized however, that skydiving was in my blood and knowing him, he would’ve been angry if I stopped because of his accident. In the nearly 20 years of jumping I have made almost 18,000 skydives all around the world. I’m a former member of the Skydive Dubai Swoop Team. I currently work full time in the sport competing and teaching others not only how to fly both their body and canopy, but how to teach skydiving to others. I love what I do and I love giving back to the sport that has been such a big part of who I am.
