I was rock climbing at an early age and used to build ziplines and forts in trees. It was common to find me on the garage roof, wishing I could be higher.<\/p>\n<h5>What was the circumstance that led you to make your very first skydive?<\/h5>\n<p>Honestly, a friend asked me to go and I thought, &#8220;Hey, something to check off of my bucket list!&#8221; I went and it became my passion.

I was so grateful to meet them and for the experience.<\/p>\n<h5>If you have one, what&#8217;s your personal motto\/philosophy as it relates to skydiving?<\/h5>\n<p>Any jump where you land safely is a good jump!<\/p>\n<h5>What three words would your colleagues\/students use to describe you as a skydiver?<\/h5>\n<p>Fun.
