First jump	May 20th, 2012!! Two weeks prior I was 100% against Skydiving but I was forced to drive my fiance out there to do his first jump. After seeing the excitement on everyone’s face around the DZ and realizing that the world of skydiving was nothing remotely close to what I thought it was it decided to give it a try.
Jumps	230
Ratings	none
Future ratings	USPA Coach
Container	I am the proud owner of a Javelin Odyssey and I LOVE IT!! I love the custom fit and design. I have been blown away by the excellent customer service I have received from SUNPATH and to top it all off SKYHOOKS are awesome!!
Main canopy	I fly a Spectre 120; it is super easy to pack, the openings are docile and consistent and it flies like a champ!!
Favorite discipline	Freeflying
Skydiving Training	Skydive Spaceland
What would you most like to improve about the sport of skydiving?	How naive new jumpers are to the dangers of freeflying generally not considering the increased rate at which things are occurring and how very little input can make a huge difference. Get coaching!!
Most common mistake you see new jumpers make?	Disregarding the winds is one of the most common mistakes I see new jumpers make. Once they are no longer under the supervision of instructors, most new jumpers don’t have a personal wind limit, which can be potentially dangerous. A wise person once told me, “It is always better to be on the ground wishing you were in the sky, than to be in the sky wishing you were on the ground.” –Fly safe, friends!!
