When you were a kid, were there any early activities that might indicate you’d one day become a skydiver?
I used to jump off the 2nd-floor deck trying to use a bedsheet as a parachute. It did not work well and I test jumped it many times.

What was the circumstance that led you to the DZ for the first time to make your very first skydive?
A coworker of my dad’s was a skydiver and talked him into going. My dad asked me if I wanted to go too. And here I am.

I have an addictive personality and I got hooked.

What’s the best / most memorable skydive you’ve ever made?
All the 4th of July demos at Ft. Vancouver WA. prior to the fireworks display. Also jumping into my buddy Pete’s front yard for his birthday party.

Superman. Duh…
